Axe to Fall is their seventh studio album and I think it’s a step up from their excellent 2006 album No Heroes. Musically, this is a bit more diverse than anything they’ve done, and it doesn’t sacrifice that intense catharsis for which they are known. Everything about this band is heavy, the vocals aren’t just screamed, they’re screamed in such a way that the human throat should not be capable of. The slower dirges are really powerful too. The drums are frantic and intricate, as are the guitars which play some really awesome riffs here. My favorite tracks are “Dark Horse” which has a delightful guitar riff, and “Cruel Bloom” which has some cool vocal parts. If you don’t like heavy music, stay away, but if you do, this band makes the some of the most intense music on this planet.
