Negative Positive
Title: wow, not your every day scream fest.
Review: To preface this review, I'm in the office. I don't have the time or resources to review each song thoroughly.First off, this album is up to par production-wise. I know this has been a problem for many metalblade releases in the past. This cd sounds great.If you are a guitar player, this album is for you. Every song is littered with tasteful, skillful shredding that doesn't get stale. I don't like most of the current crop of metal guys like evergrey, in flames, KSE, etc., but "The Absence" is great. They have a real future if they can follow this up with a strong effort.If you like anything melodic and can handle serious heaviness, buy this album right now. The band is a bunch of super nice Florida guys.
Is the review positive or negative?
