  Smooth running engine of music
  melodic hardcore and poetic
  Masters of music, kings of guitar
  dark yet uplifting.
  Tremendous variation of metal core,
  Outrageous bursts of hardcore rage,
  Mesmerizing wails
  
  
  They say you are becoming sellouts
  For I have heard about your visits on MTV
  And your Warner brothers contract
  And they say you had your first hit “Bat country”
  Yes that is true but don’t be deceived from whom
  your new fans are and your true ones.
  And they say your music isn’t as good.
  It has changed but its still remains original.
  
  But anyone come and show me a band like this one
  Yet that is incapable.
  They are different from the rest
  With their harmonious tunes,
  careening drums,
  chunky guitar riffage
  stuttering start & stop passages,
  full-throated singing,
  and snarling guitars
  
  
  But I was a fan when you began
  Original and marvelous
  
  ....finish later

  This CD is completely amazing. every song on it is and epic masterpiece and its catchy too. i know everyone in the band is really good, but nobody ever says anything about the rev. he is, in my opinion, the best metal drummer right now. he can play fast, then just start playin jazzy funk beats. i just bought this cd and i cant stop listening to it.

  its not that they were sellouts it just didnt catch my attention, the cd was horribly put together in my opinion, the transitions were sloppy, m. shadows vocals just sounded scratchy, and the recording just didnt excite me, the only really good thing is that the lead gui8tarist pulled out all the stops with the solos, and the melodies are awsome when they play them but even then when they transition out of them it just sounds like they didnt know what they were doing, i dont blame it on ax7 i blame it on the record company and the producer. its good to see that they put a good solid album together with there new cd, its not amazing but its catchy and sounds better, m shadows vocals sound better. sinister could have played some better solos but it definetly more solid and well rounded then city of evil

  I was really excited about this cd... until I heard it.
  After going through this album once, I wanted to break it in half, stab my ears, and throw the cd into the fiery pit of hell, back to where it came from.
