The breakdown in Lord Hynos is fucking fantastic. Right after the topic-starters lyrics, that next section is amazing. Everything after that is boss as well. When the chorus melody reappears at 3:36, but with the added layer of harmony, I go places. That song is very important in the course of my life, and represents an important moment in which I fell into melodeath and realized that I would never go back to who I was.
Artifacts is pretty generic death metal, except for the chorus and breakdown. The chorus is the kind of awesome "guitar singing" we expect from old Stromblad. Back when he was a second voice in every song, saying what words couldn't. Fuck.
The breakdown gets pretty awesome itself, but it comes across, to me, as a do-over of the breakdown of Stand Ablaze. The use a pretty similar structure, and the same riffing style.
Now prepare. I am going to fuck your mind.
Stand Ablaze: 3 minutes and 14 seconds.
