I fell in love with
Arch Enemy on their fantastic revelation "Stigmata", jumped
again on the
wagon with "Burning Bridges", before getting big "x-mas package"
eyes
also to their 4th album "Wages of Sin". You can't get melodic death
metal
any tighter or more well-played than this. The band has capacities
beyond the
normal, leaving the Amott brothers in charge of the guitars that
sweep their way
through your brain and never leaving the tunes out again.
"Wages of Sin" is
simply so well done in all ways, that it will be hard for
any band to overcome this
album in this genre. You might call it a salestrick
to having replaced old vocalist
Liiva with a woman, but hell, who can hear
that there is a marvellous woman behind
the microphone, growling like the
beast inside ?
The album has now also been released with a bonusdisc here in
Europe, probably
to replace some credit due to many delays, featuring alot of
goodies in videos,
coversongs (for example Maiden and Priest!) and just
making this album a clear
investment for fans of melodic death
metal.
Personally I deduct a small point for the production that might become
too sterile
in the heavydepartment, but listening to this, it's easy to
define a classic.
