Allegaeon (Best thing that has ever happened) - Elements of the Infinite

Its been over a year since Ive even bothered writing a review for this blog. BUT that was before the gods of ALLEGAEON came out with their new album Elements of the Infinite. Its almost like I was woken from a great metal hibernation. Many metal albums were disappointing or just not as exciting as I would like them to be. The dudes at Allegaeon on the other hand delivered well. Not one song falls short in this 10 track album. It is melodic technical death metal at its finest! This guitar riffs are out of this world and catchier than the worst of Disney songs. Greg Burgess, Micheal Stancel and Corey Archuleta are comparable to Jedi Masters but you know...with guitars. Brandon Park stepped up to the plate that is drums and smashed the hell out of them. Ive never heard such menacing work with such great melodic beauty.

Insomnium

This album came out a year ago but I just discovered them and well there amazing and soothingly brutal I give Across the Dark a 8/10
