Artist: Arch Enemy
Album: Wages of Sin
Genre: Melodic Death Metal
Rating: 4.9/5
I have to admit, I avoided this band for the longest time because of a certain lady singer, but I decided I’d get this album, just to check this band out. I was surprised to find that it’s actually really good. The guitar playing is awesome, it’s the style that I seem to like – low driving riffs with melodic playing on top. The singing actually isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I assumed that the chick singer was just kind of a gimmick to make this band seem “different,” but she actually fits pretty well, and she can hold her own. Call me a noob if you will, but I actually really like this album, I’m glad I gave it a chance.
