Spinefarm Records
2009

"Retribution" by the group Shadows Fall begins with “The Path To Imminent Ruin”, an instrumental. The compositions are energetic, keeping a melodic side even if the vocals are most of the time aggressive. We cannot deny that the musicians of the group control their instruments. The guitars ensure their powerful riffs and the rhythmic section is efficient and strong and particularly the drums but nothing is exceptional. As it is not the kind I usually listened, I cannot say that I like the album but for the true fans of the genre. You’ll find some acoustic passages. At the end it is a nice album to listen but maybe also to forget because there’s nothing exceptional neither new.
