Monotheist - Unforsaken
This is my first time hearing it, and half-way through I am fairly impressed. It's like mostly somewhat epic death metal with progressive tendencies and long songs that have more thoughtful moments in some of them. I just read a review where someone said they take some influenced fro Opeth. I suppose, but I am not very familiar with Opeth and have always been bored by their albums that I have heard. But so far this has enough brutality to stay interesting (though as I type this the passage that I am not hearing has been going on a bit too long. Not bad, but a little boring IMO).
