4 stars So this is what they call melodic Death Metal ? If so, then it's a good style for Marty. Complex songs that can break down in the middle for jamming interlude (eponymous track for example), prolific use of piano (or piano sounding keyboards), weird, steely (creepy, sinister) sounding guitars / keyboards builds an atmosphere that's able to devour you alive.

This album sounds very dramatical, like Death Metal Opera to be honest (is something like that existing?). Dark atmosphere looms over each track (ranging from haunting to horror ones) and believe me, they don't have so much snow in Italy.

Jingle-like sounds brings Xmas atmosphere, but instead of joy, they wish us merry terror. Unfortunately, later on, this album became re-using of older textures and patterns, although first half was very promising. It's more like follow up then innovation, but when taken like that, it's sufficient.

4(+), very complex looking, sounding and behaving album. Assuming that albums can behave.

Marty McFly | 4/5 |
