These guys don't really do much of anything innovative or groundbreaking, but they've been chugging along for years delivering very solid melo-death/metalcore and this is no exception.

I agree.

Keep running on same track, picking up older material, modifying it and filling unnecessarily areas with shit load of chugging and leads has made HSB's music span short. Good band with really good musicians but I don't know why don't they chose to make music out of comfort zone. Their records made to be "safe-zoned" and sell it in within' parameters they set it up. It's more like a fucking business where target being set on sales board.

That's what I feel about it.

Still have the same problem with HSB : their sound is filled with blasting energy but soon enough I got lost into the track, get bored, don't recognize any melody... Not my stuff I guess.

Same stuff HSB has put out for over a decade. While not as good as VETO this is alright.

VETO was the right step forward for the band, adding tons of melodeath influences and featuring more melodic and chorus-driven pieces. Their willingness to cover a power metal track and bring the original vocalist on board just showed how inspired they were. This doesn't really feel like that.
