THE PHYSICS OF FIRE

Epoch of War is one of the best openers I have ever heard. BTA blend technical death metal with progressive elements so well. For fans of Opeth (myself a huge one), this is reminiscent. Being a Christian, I love BTA's passion expressed through their lyics. I love the metaphor of God as fire, and man encased in ice by sin and the evil one. There are numerous fast guitar solos, insanely fast drumming (blast beat extravaganza), and sweet keyboard intros and interludes. Wisdom's growls are sweet as well. The Autopsy SET ME ON FIRE breakdown is amazing (I have a BTA hoodie with that phrase on the back. AWESOME!!) These guys are very talented and write great melodic death metal with progressive elements. Thanks BTA! Five out of five! If you do not enjoy the world of growls and screams avoid this though. This is not prog's Genesis (who I hold in high esteem anyway)
