The Wounded...everything in my mind told me that this was going to be a death metal album. But I was mistaken. In fact the music of this band reminds me a lot to Paradise Lost or the first Anathema because of the song structures...but they have a big difference, the vocalist. He things in a more medium ranged type of voice and the band has harmonized vocals in some parts. The guitars are really heavy (I would have liked to have them mixed a little bit higher) and the drummer uses a lot the crash cymbal an open hi-hat to give a lot of support to the guitars and bass. Some vocal parts which are harmonized me sounded to me really seventies progressive rock. Cool and strange at the same time!!! They have hooks in most of the songs and I wouldn´t be surprised if this band gets a hit single in the underground scene. !!! Favorite tracks: The whole CD....a great album!!
