 Abigail's Affair
 Shattered
 Review by Gary Hill

There is a certain formula to a lot of modern metal. You know what I'm talking about, right? It's a certain style of heavy, driving music coupled with vocals that alternate between clean, growled and screamed. This act falls into the zone. Personally, I think the whole genre is a little too predictable and by the numbers. For the most part this works pretty well, though. It could use a little more variety as it does suffer a little from feeling like one long song at points, but there are also some real standouts here. If you are a fan of that genre, I'd have to think that you'd love this.
