First track, "Hole", has a strong beat that grabs hold and continues throughout the entire track. Strong drums that carry the intense guitars, a perfect vocal blend. Next track, "Acht", has a mid-tempo beat with the guitar the drums dominate with vocals leading the way. Third track, "Crawling Again", the sound is almost shattered, intense. The vocals hard and deep powering this track through. Next track, "Kira", the sounds at the beginning is a fresh way to Start with the vocals diving in head first. This track blends softness into the hard to come out with a great sound. Track five, "Doesn't Hurt Anymore", the start leads to the thought of a softer metal then the drums and vocals show their power and strengthen it. Sixth track, "Mute", begins with electronic sounds and spoken words almost like a warning. Giving an eerie opening that provokes. The guitar, drums and keyboards carry this track with no vocals at all. Next track, "Overloaded", has a quieter opening before being slammed into a hard dark sound blended perfectly with vocals, though hard the tempo is slower. Next track, "Pulsions", if they term metal-pop exists this track fits that mold perfectly. Has all the typically metal drums and vocals with guitars sending out a melody that gives an air of poppiness. The sounds are well composed and intertwined in a great timing. Ninth track, "Unusual", a slow beating sound almost like the sound of metal trash cans being banged together with the guitars bring a beat that allows the harshness of the vocals to mix together in bliss. Next track, "Last Fuse", the beginning of this track has a steely sound the drums low the guitars in control. The drums speed up with the hard vocals. Last track, "Falter", the guitars give a creepy tone to this track the beat of the drums though fast the over all sound is slowed. In the seven minutes of the track a hidden fast tempo track very high speed.
This album has a theme that carries out with few tracks deviating from the path. The band has a great sound that will please the masses, I would like to see them branch out a little more to show the fullness of their potential.
