Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following a major lineup shift that stripped away their prominent clean vocals, the Finnish ensemble embraced a significantly heavier, more traditional melodic death metal approach on 'Rise of the Phoenix'. The record showcases Tuomas Saukkonen's commanding growls and relentless guitar work, resulting in an aggressive, cold, and highly focused listening experience.
