Arkangel - Is Your Enemy


This was the last knowm studio album by these Belgian Metalcore monsters that was released by GSR music on June 2008. This CD is pure fuckin' metalcore from the '90ies combined with modern metal stuff: there's no one break, this record sounds evil and rough from first to last second. The thing I liked about them back then was, that they delivered some plain and brutal songs packed with hatred and fast and whirling guitars. Their sound has evolved over the years and since "Prayers Upon Deaf Ears" CD, but that’s not a surprise considering to their line up reformation. The Slayer-esque guitar riffs are still present. Yet it sounds like the coming of guitarist Kirby (ex-Length Of Time) has added more layers to the music of the band. Some songs are really slow, like ‘13th Hour’ and ‘Slow But Heavy’. But overall, they still sound like Arkangel, they still have their signature aggressive sound and the songs are still pretty good. If you are into hardcore music that well kept with Metal guitar playing, this one directly for you.
