Very good album I must say. Really.
Now to say that it will be THE album of the year and DM's future, I have serious doubts. |

Well, it shouldn't be hard to beat their last one, but I'd have to guess they'll only match it and continue disappointment.
Oh yeah, and deathcore will never be the future of death metal. It's just (generally) a boring bastardization.

Woo-hooo Pestilence
HSB is also nice  - the only metalcore band without a "clean vocalist" that manages to stay interesting - and hooooow However - I think I posted it before somewhere - The intro sucks bad - sounds like the one from the last record^^which seems overall a little poor - but only a little - Besides they're a charming bunch of guys I mean I like them on stage and in interviews. They deserve their success. |

I beg to differ  Heaven Shall Burn seemed to be the number 1 (extreme, i.e. not KSE-style) metalcore band in the past. But at least to me they got strong competition by bands like Maroon or Neaera. I grant you that HSB are still bigger than those two examples (sales, audiences, slots at festivals), but music wise those are at least on the same level. Personally I think HSB were not able to significantly improve since Antigone. Ok, that last part is probably very subjective. Maybe they did improve but I simply don't like the direction they took.

Yeah, Resurrection Macabre was kinda average, but with Jeroen Paul Thesseling back on board I'm hoping for something in the vein of Spheres.

| Heard Invictus now. It surely is an above-average album. I guess it needs a few more spins before I can judge it better. All I can say for now is that it didn't immediately impress me that much, especially the female guest vocals in "Given In Death". |

Frankly I never listened to Maroon so far so I wasn't referring to them. And I don't like Neaera (anymore). I used to like them years ago but by now I came to think of them as rather ... uninspired. I dunno how to put this...
Anyway I agree with you that HSB's style did not change significantly since Antigone - then again the question is it should have to. When trying to sound more differenced metalcore bands usually tend to become mainstream ... Do you know - I believe Swedish, Dead by April? That's a very good example of how mc shouldn't be done. So I'd rather have HSB do what they are great at to the end of their career than having to find their idea of "improving performance" turns out to be bullshit...

| Just in case you want to try out Maroon: I recommend to start with When Worlds Collide or Order. The Cold Heart Of The Sun IMHO is their weakest album so you should leave that for later. |

Oh shit! Did not know Thesseling was back with them! I love his bass-work on Cosmogenesis.

| So it arrived this morning. I think it was a solid performance and not particularily "new" - such as Brack and I discussed. Apart from that let me just add: AMEN!!! |

LOL You got me ... I didn't buy it (yet) but a friend who arrived today did - so I uploaded his CD to my iTunes - I insisted he'd bring it. I stopped buying records I haven't heard before long ago - too many disappointments  - Damn I should have thought of that goddamn holiday, makes me look like a fraud |

Ah, well, if you ask me, copying among (real) friends is no problem. Tapetrading always existed anyway.
My physical copy is pre-ordered, but I already have a virtual one. From a friend So pretty close to your situation. |

| Right and apart from that ... How much of the money the album raises goes to the band ... I mean it's not like I destroy them with not buying the album just now . Only if nobody did, ... It's the same old story, isn't it. All I know is I want them back on Wacken 2011 |

Not a large percentage, but without those sales the labels wouldn't front the money for recording, packaging, distribution, and touring. Something that seems to be constantly lost among many metalheads. These bands want to be more successful than they are going to be if they DIY, so they make those sacrifices.

I don't think that HSB will suffer that much from the downloading as their sales are still through the roof being that they are some of the originators of the current trend.

They are at least big enough to have ads all over the city in subway stations. As much or even more than the latest Avantasia release. And that already struck me as being massively advertised, compared to any other metal releases (that rarely get any public ads at all).
