Editorial Review:

Album Description:
This time we believe that we have created our most diverse and heavy stuff ever, but it is still Communic all the way. It has been two years since the release of 'Waves' and the energy from touring and live gigging has left a few marks on this new album. The production by Jacob Hansen is crisp and fresh, and takes our sound to a new level, while the artwork by Jan Yrlund just completes it all as it fits the theme and atmosphere of this album perfectly. 2008.

Customer Reviews

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - FLAWLESS PROGRESSIVE METAL WITH A BITE!
I happened upon this by accident while cruising Amazon. After a couple of samples, I purchased it... All I can say is, there are not to many bands that can touch these guys. They issue a feeling so cool, I feel sixteen all over again...Great stuff.

If you like "Nevermore", or "Fate's Warning", this is a hybrid of the 2 with more memorable tunes. I would say buy this CD and see for yourself. I cant stop listening to it. Even the typical Slayer Metalhead would like this. Melodic and heavy!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Another great release by Communic
Songwriting in this album is just as good as in their previous two albums. The production is very good as well. Any fan of Nevermore should like this album.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The true "thinking man's metal"
2008's Payment of Existence is the third album from Norwegian progressive metal band Communic. I have to confess that I was a bit skeptical going into this album. I wasn't blown away when I caught the band live at last year's ProgPower USA fest, and what I had heard of their previous albums was a bit too close to Nevermore's sound for my tastes. I'm happy to report that my skepticism went out the window about a minute into this album.

With Payment of Existence, Communic has proven that they ...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Album of the Year!
Not surprisingly Communic has delivered the album of the year so far! Not surprising considering their previous masterpiece 'Waves of Visual Decay' was also the best metal album two years prior. Not much has changed in Communic camp. Probably a good thing considering that their last album was near perfect. The songs are still relativly long and dynamic with many details to uncover with each listen. Blending seamlessly a healthy balance of crushing heavy riffs and soft quiet moments usually within the ...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - "As seconds fly a storm arise"
4.5 stars. Take the aggressiveness of the song "My Bleeding Victim" from their previous album "Waves of Visual Decay" and multiply that eight times over and you now have Communic's latest offering "Payment of Existence". As long as this album is it only ever lets up with slight shifts of tempo allowing the listener a moment to breathe before relentlessly throttling once more into head-banging bliss. Communic amplifies the senses on this recording, revealing layers of intricate songwriting upon repeat visits, ...
