Diverse metal act Shattered Sun return for their highly anticipated sophomore album. The high energy vibe from the debut carries over to this compelling and rigid album that showcases the band's strengths as songwriters and musicians. The thrash aspect is firmly intact while softer, more melodic tones punctuate the soulful chorus pieces. Highlight is the addictive power crunch of "Burn It Down". It is everything we expected from this rookie sensation. Kudos for the production handled by Mark Lewis (Fallujah, Devil Driver) and cover art by Marcelo Vasco (Slayer, Kreator).
