Piano starts this. The cut gradually builds upward to driving metallic zones. The vocals are more on the extreme metal side, but there is a dark, Gothic, symphonic vibe to the musical arrangement. It’s heavy and driving, but it’s also not just pure shred.

This again starts with piano. After a while in that sort of mellower motif the cut drives out to powerful, brutal metal. It gets more melodic, but still metal, zones much further down the road, but continues to evolve by focusing on the varied flavors of the sound. This is a very dynamic and intense piece of music.

The general blend of sounds we’ve heard so far is present here. This has some parts that really get into more full progressive rock territory, but the vocals bring the extreme metal edge to those parts.

There aren’t any big changes here. Somehow, though, this track seems much more intense. It gets really powerful. It does have some mellower moments built into it, though. The dropped back instrumental break leans toward progressive rock in some ways.

I love the intricate mellower guitar on the drop down section. Beyond that, the cut is driving extreme metal with a healthy helping of melodic sound.

The onslaught continues. The general concept isn’t all that changed. That said, there are, perhaps, more proggy things in the mix here than on some of the others. Not only do we get a mellow section that feels a bit proggy, but there is even a melodic rocking movement that shows that leaning.

If anything, this is even more brutal. This earns a parental advisory for the lyrics. The melodic movement with the female vocals (Serena Cherry) really serves as a great contrast. This thing is so fierce and angry, yet there is a beauty to it, too.
