Review:
Another quality band from Finland. BTD is out w their seventh full-length, n if i had listened to this album last year, it would definitely made my top 50 list. There's great musicianship n melodies throughout the album. Listening/looking at how Joontu handles the drums is just awesome, a true talent. The best song on the album is the third track, Phoenix Rising, the opening riff is just orgasmic.

Highly Recommended
