Let me tell you, timing is a bitch, and not just in the sense of trends deciding whether your album will be successful or not (are there any revivalist thrash bands that won't be met with "KILL IT, KILL IT WITH FIRE" in 2013?). What I want to address is the fact that a band's growth and path should match the growth and path of their fanbase for maximum artistic success. There are bands which evolve alongside their audience (hi, Enslaved), and then there are bands which, despite personnel and style changes, find that their audience has not only stayed the same average age, but also that their own children are rapidly approaching that age too (hi, Nightwish). The fans of Eternal Tears Of Sorrow are four years ahead of their favorite band right now.

Hated Children..., it was so dull and cheesy (at the same time, somehow). I've never been an avid fan or anything, but their previous efforts didn't turn me off nearly as much as that. This will probably continue with that direction, so I'll probably avoid it.

"The mighty daughters and sons of Ravenheart: lend us your ears for a second! We are one step closer to get our seventh album finished: the songs have been mixed. It's time to get these songs into the perfect order and then, the final magical touch i.e. mastering the whole package."

Awesome, looking forward to this!

Nothing new here, sadly.

A respectful band, but the only good tracks are "Dance of December" (old Katatonia, Sentenced feeling) and "Sound of Silence".

The album is good, but it just isn't up there with the previous ones unfortunately, There are few great songs here that save my rating from being lowered and that heavier sound is definitely a good thing.

Clean vox is pretty tricky but once it is done right it is realy cool.
There some bands around that not doing it right mostly Modern onces like MMDM(Modern Melodic Death Metal), etc.
