L'album che sto per recensire è il nuovo lavoro dei canadesi Kataklysm, che ci propongono un Death Metal potente e violento consfumature apocalittiche veramente devastanti. L'album si apre con la canzone "Like Angels weeping (The Dark)" in cui si uniscono melodia e distorsione per poi sfociare in riff di chitarra potentissimi. Nel secondo brano, "Let them Burn", si alternano la voce bassa e devastante del cantante a una seconda voce più stridula e urlato, forse del chitarrista o del bassista. Il terzo brano si intitola "Crippled and Broken" e inizia con un riffone lento e pesante che ti schiaccia i timpani, poi diventa velocissima e inizia il cantante con un growl ancora più basso e oscuro che nelle altre canzoni, veramente lodevole il lavoro del batterista, che batte ritmi velocissimi. La quarta canzone, "To Reign Again", inizia con un malinconico arpeggio di chitarra pulita, poi partono riff bassi e cupi, bellissimo il giro di basso all' interno della traccia. Nella quinta canzone, "It Turns to Rust", si alternano ancora due voci, il chitarrista suona riff veloci, lenti e alcuni melodici creando bellissimi contrasti. Nel sesto brano intitolato "Open Scars" c'é un bellissimo assolo, peccato che si sente poco e viene sovrastato dai dalle chitarre ritmiche. Il settimo brano, "Temptations Nest", è una vera e propria orgia di riff, con tantissimi cambi di tempo. La penultima traccia, "In Words of Desperation", inizia col solito suono pulito/distorto per poi passare a chitarre basse e stoppate. L'ultima canzone, "The Road to Devastation" , e la più lunga e la più lenta dell'album, bellissimo l'assolo prima melodico poi veloce, alla fine si sentono violini e voci scombinate e un orologio, poi solo l'orologio e poi finisce.
Veramente bello questo disco, forse il loro migliore, sarebbe perfetto se ci fossero più assoli.

02 Let Them Burn (03:19)
So slow...
To take greed... from every selfish heart that bleeds
With me... to fight an endless uphill battle
Set free... The souls who need the chance to rise
Death's seed... to embody the earth's core
The transition is so slow, to see the world burn
To see the fire turn, I can't watch this story unfold
Existence to spiral in nothing
I stood at the height of the world and watched you all kill for nothing
Such fear this world as known yet we spawn mutilations
So I say... So I say...
All the traitors in the world... LET THEM BURN!
They want it all? LET THEM BURN!
Fuck them all, kill them all... LET THEM BURN...
To take greed... from every selfish heart that bleeds
With me... to fight an endless uphill battle
Set free... The souls who need the chance to rise
Death's seed... to embody the earth's core
This is my war, this is my savior
I'll take you down even if it takes my last breath
I'LL TAKE YOU DOWN!!
All the traitors in the world... LET THEM BURN!
They want it all? LET THEM BURN!
Fuck them all, kill them all... LET THEM BURN...
03 Crippled & Broken (04:32)
I hear a million voices,
their screaming through my head.
Messages of death that I could understand.
They reek intimidation, they reek retribution.
The time has come for you to defy your enemy.
I saw you coming from miles away.
One by one I saw you fade away.
There's no chance in one man's fear.
The damage's done your strength's undone.
Crippled & Broken
There's no one left to die..
Crippled & Broken
Worthless to test this power.
And feel the wrath of fire.
Senseless these acts of vengeance,
will tear into your soul.
Rage of inner strength, to eat you from the inside.
And cripple you, into infinity.
You reap what you sowed for war,
you reap what you sowed for nothing,
you reap what you sowed!
I hear a million voices,
their screaming through my head.
Messages of death that I could understand.
They reek intimidation, they reek retribution.
The time has come for you to defy your enemy.
I saw you coming from miles away.
One by one I saw you fade away.
There's no chance in one man's fear.
The damage's done your strength's undone.
Crippled & Broken
There's no one left to die..
Crippled & Broken
09 The Road to Devastation (07:14)
It wasn't so long ago I remember time's where life was so cold
Everything was dark and still I thought I had a chance in life
The demons called my name, they dragged me inside the chambers of hell
No one could hear me, I bled tears of pain
Son, confront me... The Road To Devastation
Kneel before me... The Road To Devastation
Inhale, exhale... The Road To Devastation
This is my life... The Road To Devastation
The sun would rise, the hope would die inside
Another day of misery as the clock turns to agony
Feel the sense of lost time...
When everything falls to pieces and left with a glimpse of light
It wasn't so long ago I remember time's where life was so cold
Everything was dark and still I thought I had a chance in life
The demons called my name, they dragged me inside the chambers of hell
No one could hear me, I bled tears of pain
Son, confront me... The Road To Devastation
Kneel before me... The Road To Devastation
Inhale, exhale... The Road To Devastation
This is my life... The Road To Devastation
