5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the BEST medodic death around today!, January 22, 2005

Since I bought My Passion Your Pain, Callenish Circle has quickly become one of my favorite bands. I just seem to be playing it more and more.

Everybody feels the need to say that this has been done before. It fits into an existing genre, so yes, obviously something similar has been done before. If it hadn't, it would have created it's own genre. Get over it.

Even those who have something against this album and band are admitting that this is quality work. Personally, I get something from this album that I don't get from Slaughter of the Soul. Not to knock Slaughter of the Soul at all, I love that album, but it's something different.

Many albums these days are ok. Some are good. A few are great. This one is a must own. Detractors will continue to call it unoriginal, but in the end, what matters most is HOW THE ALBUM SOUNDS. This album sounds amazing. End of story.

Callenish Circle is one of those bands that most metal fans will say "Who??" about when asked about them. This is not because they lack talent or intensity. They just happen to be a band that has not gotten much, if any, publicity from the metal press. After all, who would think a bunch of Dutch guys can throw down some brutal melodic death?
I've been listening since "Graceful... yet forbidding". I happened upon Callenish Circle because I am half Dutch myself and was looking to find Dutch metal bands. And what a find I made....
Anyway on to this album. My Passion Your Pain intensifies Callenish Circle's sound tenfold. In this latest offering, they strip away the American Pantera-esque sound in favor of a purely aggresive Scandinavian tone remnicient of At the Gates. The black metal vocals are still key in driving the razor sharp ultra-melodic rythyms found in nearly every track. One listen to "My Hate Unfolds" will sum up what these guys are all about. It is refreshing to see a band that keeps it's head low and cranks out crushingly brutal and catchy melodic death while all the other players on the field are subcuming to what record companies are pushing for. (With the notable exception of Dark Tranquillity) Fans of the genre will love this album. A no-brainer.

Let's just say I'm "THE" super digital music pirate. This album was the first time I've bought a CD in a looooong time. This album was so good when I downloaded it, I decided to pay these guys back for all they have given me. This album is "THAT" good. Forsaken is a very powerful song, the riffs are insane... This is their best album yet, they just get better and better... I just had to buy the actual CD!
