Title: Great mix of prog-thrash-stoner metal
Review: I have to start out by saying I never listened to the band or heard them before seeing them live on the 2004 tour with Slayer & Killswitch engage, so I knew nothing about them. They blew me away live! So naturally I had to buy the album. Leviathan is a masterpiece of complex arrangements and odd timing. Very heavy and epic sounding. Not for everyone, but those who would enjoy odd technical prog metal bands like Coroner, Voivod, Mekong Delta, U.P., Beyond Fallen, etc. would probably like this. The vocals are a bit on the death metal side for the most part, and don't do much for me, but the music is killer. Great to see a metal band willing to be a bit different. It has thrash, prog, stoner, and death metal moments all rolled into one. Very well done album.
