Breathing Process, The - Odyssey (un)Dead (2010)^{Release ID: 9837}

This album shows off influences from various different sub-genres of metal but manages to maintain a good energy level throughout. The Breathing Process' sound is equally reliant on melodic death metal, black metal & progressive metal. The musicianship & songwriting are great & the progressive influence does not take away from the brutality of the music which is rare these days. The drums are very triggered sounding but you become used to it after a couple of tracks & forget about it. I find the main vocals to be very powerful & aggressive & they really drive the band through some of the more symphonic Cradle Of Filth style moments which I usually don't go for. There are some seriously crunching riffs on here. A really solid album.
