The most emotionless vocalist in the history of metal. He should do a duet with Alexa.

Not bad but not that good either

Agreed, not a bad song but ´quite dull. That this is the album opener is a bad sign for the rest of the album. His best albums were those melodeath ones (and best part was the rest of the band)

Written by Callisto on 20.03.2022 at 19:28 I disagree, Elements of Persuasion is by far his most inspired work, just as good as some DT albums.

The album cover reminds me two biomes from the game 7 Days to Die (wasteland and forest). About the song... can't judge, didn't listen yet. This is just a pointless reply, actually.

Written by JoHn Doe on 21.03.2022 at 06:56 It's a matter taste obviously, in fact I even prefer the Mullmuzzler albums to Elements, back in the day they were more original in my opinion. If I'm not mistaken in both Elements and what I call the "melodeath" Labrie albums Marco Sfogli was on guitars, but the heavier approach won me on the latter two.
