Impaled Nazarene
"Absence of War Does Not Mean Peace"
(Osmose) 

I had heard that this band on their 7th release had toned down their style a bit. After giving this a listen the band did slow down a bit in spots, but it is still fast in places. Actually I think a bit of melody has helped this band as I find this release a great one to my ears. The riffs are a headbanger's delight and the speed parts crush as well. Vocals crush all as well. Do not be put off by this. Buy it and see for yourself. I love it. Info: Godisofpain@aol.com
