(Melodic Death Metal) Behind The Scenery - Retroviseur - 2004, APE (image+.cue), lossless

I got this album in a trade and I'm beginning to think I'm the only one who's ever heard of it or of this band. I can't say anything of their other releases, but this album is a solid slab of melodic death metal in the Gothenburg vein.
The album starts with a standard acoustic melodeath instrumental. Good, but it's nothing we haven't heard before. Things pick up right after with a full blown assault of melodic death metal bliss and continues so until the album is finished. If I could compare the music to anything, it would be Dark Tranquillity's "The Gallery" though more aggressive and less abstract. The production is clear but it still retains a raw, atmospheric sound if you know what I mean. The music never gets overly fast, usually staying in a mid-paced range with plenty of melodic breaks throughout the album. This is a Gothenburg melodeath album through and through so you know the drill.
The vocals are a huge stand out, pretty much perfect for this type of music. Verocious and extremely aggressive, it compliments the music very well. You won't find any clean singing or catchy choruses here.
I would recommend this album to whoever has a Gothenburg thirst they just can't quench. While nothing groundbreaking or original, this is just a extremely solid album that would fit nicely in anyone's melodeath collection. But if you're not into this type of music, this isn't going to change you're mind.
