How would you like the Mona Lisa if a thick veil covered this painting that graces a wall in Les Louvres, Paris? Well, my idea of this recording is that it contains music that's covered by a veil. What a dull sound! The guitars, the drums, they all sound so distant that you can't hear them in all glory. Just like a painting covered by a veil. This is regrettable as the music is interesting and well played. The guitar sounds and solos sometimes make me think of Seventh Angel. The music was written and performed by one person, a guy named Todd Pope. It can be described as old style death metal with deep growling vocals. But it's not fast stuff. Only the song Devastator is fast. Not quite modern stuff but I don't mind as the music should stand on its own, not on trends. Todd does his thing and he does it very well, I only wish it wasn't covered by a veil.
