After the experimental period, Dark Tranquillity transitioned back into their familiar sound with Damage Done. Character is full-on Dark Tranquillity at the top of their game, and it shows why they are one of the originators of melodic death metal.

This is the most ethereal, and intense Fallujah has ever sounded. If you thought they couldn't get any better, here's your next favorite album. FYI to those that were bothered by the distortion issues on The Flesh Prevails need not worry, for there are no issues here.

The final album before they broke up and reunited 4 years later sees Despised Icon streamlining their attack with sharp precision while ditching the pig squeals that they were known for. It's not better than The Ills Of Modern Man or even The Healing Process, but it's worthy of your attention.

Despised Icon kept the goods rolling after The Healing Process with this release that saw them perfecting their onslaught with a sharper production and mix. The Ills Of Modern Man is easily the best they've done.

Deicide's first album without the Hoffman's on guitars is a knockout. Melodies are introduced into the band's sound here, but the intensity never lets up.

Consumed By Your Poison was a good debut, but I feel that this is more of a solid release. The songs are better written, the production and mix are both strong, and the performance is top notch. The Healing Process serves as a pretty good precursor to The Ills Of Modern Man. Get them both and listen to them back to back.

Where Wisconsin Death Trip was a solid debut, Machine took the sound in a darker, faster direction with crazier vocals and electronics. R.I.P. Wayne Static.

Ministry may be done recording albums for a while, but Al Jourgensen is far from finished. Not that I think this is what being on meth sounds like, but it is indeed the craziest Al has ever come up with, and he's done his fair share and then some. Imagine the Side F/X Include Mikey's Middle Finger track from Ministry's last album, and that should give you idea on the sound here.

Where All Hail The Dead was raw and crazy, Walls Of Jericho go faster and heavier on With Devils Amongst Us All. They aren't your average metalcore band. I think they're more old school hardcore. If you don't think so after you listen to them, walk away now.
