Third release from Howl, coming out April 30th, this might as well be their best album to date, I’d have to say. Howl has some of their best vocals and guitar play on this album. They’re dropping 100LB of riffs on you, literally. Sadly, there are no 10 minute songs on this album they’re all around good length, 3 to 5 minutes long, with tons of guitar riffs, heavy drumming, great and loud vocals. The biggest improvement for this band would be the vocals are more in the songs then they were before, where you’d rarely ever hear the vocals, on this album you hear vocals longer in the songs and they didn't change up the solos in the songs, which is what really kept people listening to their songs, there are always great guitar solos and great riffs in every song they write for sure and if anything they only got a lot better from the older two releases they've put out. The vocals got a little less deep than you’d hear, but there are a few songs that have parts where the vocals are really deep and high, the offset with the vocals is something new for the band that’ll have fans wanting more. A few songs that kind of stick out on this album would have to be, Midnight Eyes, Your Hell Begins, With A Blade, The Mouth Of Madness. Midnight eyes really caught my attention with the vocals and the guitar riffs, the intro to the song is pretty heavy and right to the point, and the vocals are throughout the song. There are a lot of parts in the song where the guitar gets better and has a catchier riff. With A Blade happens to be the longest song on the album, coming in at 5 minutes of Doom Metal greatness. Out of all the songs on this album, I’d have to pick this as my favorite for the reason of the vocals, the lyrics, and the guitar solo is something else and the riffs are probably the thing that really caught my attention when first listening to the song, the song has a seriously great flow to it, the vocals only make the flow a lot better.
Screams: The vocals are more on this album then they were on the other two releases, they’re not as deep as they were on the two releases, but they've gotten higher in range as well as deep. The vocalist definitely makes it interesting and makes his vocals fit with the sound of the instruments and go along with the flow of the song which is always a plus for their sound.
Instruments: The instrument play got a lot better on this album, the riffs improved and the drumming got a little bit better, heavier also. This band really explores their talents and builds onto it, and show how they've matured on every album and I hope they only really continue to do so on future releases, to make them better and sound different from the last release. 

Rating: 9/10
