I hate to award only three stars (cuz I really like this band, inconsistent as they are), but this new record is lacking something. Darkane is still like a more technical Swedish version of Strapping Young Lad, they still have killer instrumental work, and their new vocalist isn't too different from Andreas (which is just fine with me).

Never moving out of their core sound, but instead injecting something new and twisted.
They've done it again. ...
