Review by Shadowdoom9 (Andi) for Remnant, The - The Remnant (2004)

This one f***ing rules! It's an album released by Becoming the Archetype under their original name The Remnant. Back then, they had more of a melodic metalcore sound that would carry over in a prog-ish direction in Terminate Damnation, as opposed to their later melodeath albums. Honestly, I can't believe this gem is practically unknown. Pretty much every non-interlude song is an awesome piece of melodic metalcore. Talking about them won't do them justice, but I'll say the best of the best is the nearly 7-minute epic "Married to the Minus", a sign of more progressiveness to come. If you're up to getting the glory of Terminate Damnation, you might wanna check out their equally glorious self-titled album as The Remnant first. It's too memorable to be unknown!

Favorites: All of them, especially "Married to the Minus"
