As I continued browsing, the quality of the music continued to be sublime. So then I asked who it was and it was this awesome band 'Solerrain' from Russia. I didn't hesitate and bought this album there and then. I don't often buy 'new' releases, but this was well worth it. Imagine a band melding the best from Swedish and Finnish melodic death metal all on one disc. There are Swedish death grunts, a Finnish sense of chord progressions and elements of power metal thrown in, especially in the solos. A very enjoyable listen indeed. It's heavy, has no clean vocals, melodic as foo and has inspired solos. What more could you want from a melodic death metal band in this day and age? Basically, this is like CoB if they still had some balls and originality.

It's full of unique songwriting and has a great sound for an unsigned act. Other instruments such as piano are used effectively too. I really respect the ambitious focused vision of this band. This album is almost impossible to find these days, but it's well worth picking up if you can.

Genre-wise, it's a standard affair for Kagrra this last time around with their unique Neo-Japanesque Rock (and the only other band to come close to making music similar to this but on a stranger level is 'Kiryuu'). Expect a base of pentatonic vocal melodies and lots of koto embellishments woven around driving guitar riffs and beautiful acoustic guitar arpeggios. It's sad to see them disband after 11 years as they were one of the few mature visual kei bands that could be taken seriously. The standout tracks are 'Chigiri', 'Shiroi Uso' and 'Shiki'. Incidently, all 3 tracks were released as singles prior to the album's release.Machine Head The Burning RedMetallica ...And Justice for AllMetallica MetallicaNightrage Sweet VengeanceOmnium Gatherum The RedshiftSilent Civilian Ghost StoriesSins of Omission Flesh On Your Bones3.0 goodA Canorous Quintet The Only Pure HateAblaze My Sorrow The PlagueAvenged Sevenfold Sounding the Seventh TrumpetChildren of Bodom Relentless Reckless ForeverIn Flames Soundtrack to Your EscapeIn Flames Lunar StrainIn Flames Come ClarityScar Symmetry Dark Matter Dimensions2.5 averageIn Flames Reroute to Remain
