Heavy Metal, Thrash, Death Metal, Melodic Death Metal
The Chainheart Machine - 2000
When I first put on this CD my immediate impression was Cryptopsy and In Flames mixed together. This album takes you from a chaotic brutal death metal sound reminiscent of Cryptopsy’s “Whisper Supremacy” and then takes you into excellent guitar melodies which are worthy of being written by In Flames or Children of Bodom. This album is great for someone into melodic or more technical death metal or even someone just getting into death metal, since the songs seem to go in and out from brutal thrash metal type riffs to extremely melodic riffs, making it much more accessible to metalheads who aren’t really into death metal (which can be considered bad by some “death metal purists.”) My favorites would have to be “Possessing the Angels,” and “Spirits of the Future Sun,” I highly recommend this album to almost any metalhead.
