Full review

The debut album by americas' hottest new metal band should definately be in everyones' record collection.
Matt Heafy, (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Corey Beaulieu (Guitars, Vocals),Travis Smith (Drums), and Paolo Gregoletto (Bass, Vocals) make up this four piece metal group. They are one of the hottest new metal bands and have proven this with their amazing debut album "Ember to Inferno".
It is a metal masterpiece with songs ranging from the intensely fast riffs and drumming of their title track "Ember to Inferno" to the slow but melodically brilliant "A View of burning Empires".
This album is metal at its best with fresh, original metal talent hard to come about these days, this debut album certainly shows that it is possible to be brilliant from the start.
Some of the best tracks on the album are:
"Falling to grey" is a track where a riff worthy of solo-esque branding is used and is an excellant example of the talent that the band holds between them.
"Fugue (A Revelation)" is a track where simple riffs are put together with a good fast beat and a simple bass riff its singing shows Matt and Paolo at their best with some of Matts best roaring in this song. But i feel that by far the best part of the singing is the chorus where Matt and Paolo break into melodic almost normal singing. Almost.... It soon goes back to screaming. But it happens to work very well.

If you like the guitar riffs of Metallica, want a new style of voice, even more intense solos then maiden, and a double-bass drum sound like none other, then this is the album for your record collection. No real metal fan should be without.
