The Evergreen

I can't objectively write about this. I like it too much. THIS is the UTA album I have been waiting for and didn't exactly get with Time Stands Still. These guys have really pulled together and I just love what they have done. EPIC!

Oh hell yes, Slayes has never sounded better, and the whole thing is just sooooooooo epic. The Matriarch and Cleanse the Bloodlines are at the absolute pinnacle of the genre. This is their best album to date, and I fucking LOVED their previous releases.

Everything about this album is perfect, seriously considering driving from Chicago to Calgary to see them. Best they've put out yet. Album of the year so far for me.

Never checked out this band before now, but decided to give this a listen. Not understanding the hype. Brittney has fantastic vocal talent, but everything else here is generic and boring as hell

This is exactly why in my opinion this is their best album yet. Those vomit sounding growls were funny.

I wish there were more awesome power metal like this, more influences from melodeath but still keeping the traditional epic fantasy and power metal themes around. Cleanse The Bloodlines is one of the single best metal songs of 2017, but after about million spins I'm fed up with that bloody chorus of Ten Thousand Against One. That's why it's only 9.

You've got a lot of guts. Let's see what they look like!

I finally understand the hype on this record. Their other albums are great, but this one is just on another level.

Power metal - especially from the last few decades - is not exactly my favourite genre but this is actually quite good. The songs are catchy but they retain a certain heaviness too. Decent.
