conceived in fire: Is it possible to complain that an album is too technically perfect? This is a trend that I've seen a couple of other times (Circle Of Dust/Celldweller come to mind). The quality is so good that it just doesn't seem to fit. This is a good album, I guess. There is more grunting and screaming than I prefer, though. It's a shame this was their final album.

the hammering process: !!!BUY THIS ALBUM!!! If you like death/hardcore/metal/whatever please do yourself a favour. This may very well be my favourite hard album, period. Every song rocks. The percussions are outrageous. There is even some singing/melody, which you just don't hear, normally, for music of this type. Hand Of The Dead is probably my favourite song on the album.

reborn: This is the first album of their metal-core style change. I personally welcomed it, as I've never been a fan of speed metal. Spirit Fall is easily my favourite song on this one. It has an excellent mix of classic metal guitar solo and hardcore slam.

inhabit: I feel kind of cheesy as I've never heard this album, but I love the cover. It was their last speed metal album, and I would presume that it's a pretty good one, for what that's worth.

non-existent: Again, speed metal isn't really my cup of tea. But they are probably the most under-rated metal band in the world, so I still have to give them some space, even when I don't like the music.

living sacrifice: For LS purists, this is probably their best album. Obviously, I can't agree with that, though. A lot of people were turned off by their style change, but I'm happy they did it.
