Review: I don't really know if this is a serious band or just a project as these guys are all playing in other, more reknowned bands as Trivium or Canae. Well, anyway, good for them to have inked a deal with Willowtip/Earache as this might be their break. "Fractured" is a preety tight album based on a technical approach of death metal, made in the old American fashion, but spiced with a modern sound and technique. The CD lasts for half an hour and this is the perfect time for it; maybe this is the only album I listened that has a perfect balance between music and CD-timing, cause a little more would have been boring, and a little less would have been not enough. All the instrumentists are good, but the battle between the two guitars is the cherry on this technical death metal cake.
