Great debut, congratulations from me because you've sparked quite a bit of curiosity about an artist I wasn't familiar with... anyway, lately there's been a lot of prog on the homepage of Debaser. Welcome! ;)

Wait, wait, I got it: the color of the nails! Did I win something???

@ Dr. Adder: in my opinion, even this phantom entity with immense knowledge does not exist, because I truly don’t believe that a man who knows everything can exist; and precisely because of this limitation, a single individual cannot assert in an ABSOLUTE and DEFINITIVE manner what is beautiful and what is ugly.

Great point, for me these are my cup of tea.

I still have to listen to it, but I know it won't disappoint me (also thanks to the many enthusiastic comments); the review makes me want to buy it anyway.

Your questions at the beginning of the review are legitimate; however, I still believe that making art does not only mean completely overturning canons and laws. On the contrary: by doing so, in my opinion, each work of art would be a self-celebration of its own ego and would remain closed in on itself, knowable only to the artist who produced it. And that would be a significant limitation. That said, from how you've described the album, it seems to imply just this. I haven't listened to the Wedding Album, but knowing the subjects I can imagine... if music (and art in general) is a transmission of emotions and feelings, hence a sense (or "why," indeed), it means that this sense must also be sought within the listener and in what they feel at the moment of listening. And enduring 22 minutes and 43 seconds of spoken drivel, I don't know what that could provoke (if not perhaps diarrhea or sleep). I apologize for the long and boring post ;)

And who the hell cares, yes, who the hell cares...

Absolutely one of the most important bands today, and DHIADW one of the most beautiful albums of the 90s in the metal scene... I agree when you say "it gives a more modern and current twist to the concept of thrash metal": Nevermore have always been able to develop their very own trademark within thrash metal, both in terms of sound and arrangements, a lesson that bands like Trivium and various newcomers should keep in mind...

Ah okay, so for those who might be interested, I recommend listening to Ink Compatible first, where the tracks are sung and quite catchy (Daniel Gildenlow from Pain Of Salvation even sings on one of them, no kidding); Michael Manring, Sean Malone, Marty Friedman, and a lot of other interesting people play there as well...

But is Ink Complete totally instrumental?
