Neaera - Ours Is The Storm

Enjoy the vocals...but not much else was halfway entertaining.

The album was terrible. The quality was bad, the vocals were terrible, nothing to comment on the lead playing abilities (nothing stood out), nothing for drummers... Overall just really boring. I actually started getting frustrated the deeper I got into the album.

Decent album that just tries too hard to sound like Heaven Shall Burn. It didn't make me yawn, but it's certainly nothing I've thorougly enjoyed either. It's just there.

You recon its worth buying though, yes?

I've seen this today in a local store and the deluxe version got me interested.

I have heard the title track before and liked it a lot and of course I can/will check it beforehand but figured I ask for some opinions too.

It's very slightly above average. If you don't have the entire HSB discography yet, you are better off if you just buy whatever still misses in your collection. Ours Is the Storm sounds just like HSB, but not as good. IMHO that is.

Since their last album was pretty decent, I had high hopes for this opus. They failed to deliver. They failed to deliver big time. The production is bad. The guitars sound so bad. The occasional clean vocals are donkey. Utterly boring riffs and structures.

Old comment but anyways I decided to buy it anyways (not long after you wrote this).

Not bad although HSB's latest blows it out of the water (which isn't surprising since it is also HSB's pretty much best album), but still it made an enjoyable listen. Not much options for rest of HSB's stuff here, the only place I can buy records without ordering is a Media Markt and outside classics they only have new stuff generally. Also I have never seen Veto there at all :/
