Susperia's 'Unlimited' is their best album to date. With killer songs like Chemistry, Home Sweet Hell, Situational Awareness, and Devil May Care, this album is definitely worth it. Every song on this album is great, delivering the dark and heavy music Susperia is famous for. If you have never heard Susperia before, this album should be your first, and will not be your last. For those existing Susperia fans who don't already own this, I have but one question for you; What are you waiting for?

When it comes to quality, professionally performed Metal, you can bet that's exactly what you'll get from this record. I never thought that a neo-thrash band with symphonic black metal influences would sound this good. While it's sort of grounbreaking in a way, it's easy to see who this band's main influence is. Susperia has taken so much inspiration from the band Testament, musically and vocally, that it is so visibly transparent. If you listened to this record without knowing it's Susperia you'd think it's Chuck Billy behind the mic! They've added a bit of their own style as well, though. The degree of excellence coming from the material is simply excellent, so the semi-plagiaristic aspects of the album can be overlooked. Besides, half the songs here stand as pure Susperia numbers, like on "Devil May Care," where the heavyness takes a backseat in exchange for happy, melodic realms. On the other hand, "Situational Awareness" is a great rockin' anthem, and sees Susperia in pure Metal mode, with hooks so catchy you'll find yourself singing the chorus in your head all day. In retrospect, this record takes pride in what it is and tries bo be nothing else and I must say that what they've acomplished is pretty damn good.

I bought this cd knowing only that they supposedly sounded like Testament. and well this is the best album Testament never recorded. this has all the good elements from the melodic death metal scene and all the best elements of thrash metal. Not only does the music kill, I mean some of the best flowing songs and solos I've heard in a while. but Susperia have one of the best vocalists in the scene right now. Along with Bio-mechanical, and Nevermore, Susperia are the future of metal...and the future is looking bright.

They may not be the best known band but this album along with the other 2 just blew my mind away. Before Predominance, the hardest I'd ever listened to was Slayer and I didn't care for black and death metal at all. Susperia combines those two with thrash (my favorite type of metal) making more melodic music. Highly reccomended. (Check out Predominance also)

Best tracks: Home Sweet Hell, Chemistry

Susperia delivers again with their unique delivering of Thrash, Death, and Black Metal influenced chaos. Throw in the occasional Power Metal (ala Judas Priest) vocals and you have some really innovative music that oozes aggression and hatred as well as creativity and atmosphere. I was a little worried about this band's 3rd album (the 3rd album usually solidifies a band's greatness by either making or breaking them) but my worries were all put to rest when I heard the opening guitar intro to "Chemistry". Fans of this band's previous work will not be disappointed, Susperia delivers once again; who cares what former bands these guys used to belong to, because now they have a style and sound that's unmatched and all their own. \m/ That's very rare in the metal scene nowadays and bands that do have what it takes to set themselves apart should be praised, the individual musicians in this band are amazing and are obviously throwing everything out there to burn off whatever labels they have been stuck with.

Chemistry. That was the song I heard just one time and I had to figure out who made it. It was then I discovered Susperia and their latest album Unlimited. What sucked was, nobody carried the newest effort by Susperia. However, amazon.com came through and within the week I received a copy of Ulimited and was immediately hooked.

I am not a huge Death Metal fan, though I do find groups I tend to like. (Check out Immortal Souls) However, Susperia is not a true Death Metal group, which is most likely due to their Northern European influences. What is nice is you get a touch of several musical flavors from traditional Death Metal, to Classic Metal, Speed Metal and just all around good music. My favorite songs are: Chemistry, Home Sweet Hell and Devil May Care. However, all the songs are great and I have listened to everyone over and over.

What is the most amazing part is the melodic aspect of Susperia. An aspect that is amazingly beautiful and yet still maintains its hard edge. Sometimes when heavy groups try to bring in a little melody to their music, they lose their edge and start sounding like a balad. Ick! However, Susperia avoids this problem and just bowls you over straight through the album. The only problem I have is the fact this album just came out and I just cannot get enought of this new band!

Now if youre a metal head and were into the older beginnings of Susperia, then this album is not for you. All of the melodies are there, but the guitar work and growls are not. Besides the lyrics are absolutly retarded sometimes. Such as on the song "Off The Grid": "Are you one of those people that still believe that unicorns still exsist, youre officially off the grid." That just makes me laugh!

This album is great, dont get me wrong, but compared to their album Prdominance, this is a peice of s***. I enjoy their older stuff more, but if youre a first time listener, listen to Predominance first, or even Vindication, which is OK.

Theres better metal out there, but this album will stay in my car for those emo metal moments.

Hey there everyone. Just want to let you know that i havenet heard the entire CD yet but all that i have heard so far is great. I do appreciate it. It rocks. The music and voice all sound perfect. Thanks again guys. Yuo all take care. Later.

This has got to be one of the greatest albums ever. From start to finish it is an ever encompassing, engaging, and captivating listen. These guys slice and dice through some of the most inventive and ingenious riffs I have ever heard. Athera is one of the greatest throats in Metal ever. He can do it all and his vocal performance on this record is absolutely incredible. This is a fine piece of work. Epic, brutal, catchy, and beautiful.

I have all there Cd's and have reviewed some of them, just know this, Unlimited is there without a doubt there best effort, as close to a flawless cd that you will find... All the songs on this Cd are Killer with #7 getting alot of replay on my cd. With all the Cd's in my collections and many great cd's being released since 2004, this cd kinda found it's way into middle of my cd collection. (I have like 7 cd booklets each of them each holding 144 all full no empty slots) but after digging thru them an rearranging some I pulled this one out in early 2009 and haven't stopped listening to it since. Vindication the cd that came out before this is great to but I give the edge to this cd it's just simply amazing. I guess one reason I have listened to this alot is the quality in my opinion of there last 2 cd's has started to wane a little. If you read my review on there newest output for Attitude you'll know what I mean... although that cd is very slowly starting to grow on me it's still not even close to this cd. ok now i'm babbling if you just want to listen to a pure metal cd thrash/death/groove whatever buy this cd you will not be dissapointed... here's to hoping the return to form in the future and put a cd out that is on the same level as Unlimited or better... cheers...
