Complex arrangements, intricate rhythmic gimmicks and progressive song structures sometimes meet brute harshness, sometimes hymn-like choirs, sometimes dramatic reduction: On their fourth studio album Burden Of Life prove once again that musical corsets just don't suit them! With "The Makeshift Conquerer", the Regensburg-based progmetallers present an exciting, innovative work that pushes the boundaries of the genre to the limit and rightly causes a sensation. An absolute MUST for Prog fans.
