3.0 out of 5 stars
Addictive, Heavy Melodic Death Metal, January 24, 2010
This review is from: Reckoning (Audio CD)
I picked "The Reckoning" up after listening to a few sound clips, and have been quite addicted to this disc for about a week. Arise play an eclectic style of modern metal lifting elements of black and death metal and adding an occasional shot of melody and plenty of aggressive jackhammer drumming. Definately a good album, track two, "No Memory Of Light" has been stuck in my head for days...all but the most jaded of metal fans might want to give this a shot; worth listening to, for sure. I subtracted a star for a distinct lack of originality-it sounds like a lot of other bands, honestly. That having been said, it's managed to achieve heavy rotation in my world despite not reinventing the wheel in metal...check it out!
