The cover and song titles gave me the impression that this would be a goth album. But it came in too close to deadline to get it sent to our resident goth expert Steve. The first few seconds sounds like an alternative band from the 90s. Then it quickly changes to a metalcore sound, then a death metal sound, and just kept changing from there. By the end, I was pretty convinced I had just heard the death metal version of Tourniquet. Skilled playing, quick style changes mid-song, intricate time signatures, it is all there \u2013 just filtered through a death metal and metalcore lens. If you are looking for something heavy but slightly different, Deus Invictus is the band for you.<\/p>\n[2010 Bombworks Records | Purchase: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bombworksrecords.com\" target=\"_blank\">BombworksRecords.com<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wasn\u2019t sure what I was going to hear when I started listening to this album.
