Probably my favourite Deadlock album yet. It's even catchier than "Wolves" and more non-metal elements creep in which makes it sound really fresh. Okay, the album has moments which I don't like such as the rap bit in the track "Deathrace"... so I chose to ignore it (nothing against rap, but it just doesn't fit). Otherwise, I'd say Johannes Perm's growls have improved and Sabine is hitting every note.

In this album, Sabine Weniger becomes a full time member of the band and has a lot more participation in the vocal parts. Although her voice tends to get a bit annoying in "Earth.Revolt" at times, she sounds a lot better in "Wolves". Not that her voice or vocal abilities has changed or anything, but it's probably the band start writing music that fits her in as well and I really like her now. Also, the orchestrations are gone this time with the music more guitar based and sounding more aggressive. My favourite bit of the album imo would be the track "End Begins" where you get a trance break in the middle and in general, the songs are a lot more catchy as well compared to Earth.Revolt.

The music of Deadlock is not so simple. You get thrashy riffs, breaks, solos, orchestrations and even a female vocalist (Sabine Weniger) that has a nice soft voice, so they are definitely your usual melodeath band. The thing that I have to complain about this album is that Sabine Weniger does go over the board a little bit too much, particularly in the track "Awakened By Sirens". You'll know what I mean when you listen to that track, particularly the end bit. Otherwise, it's great melodeath imo.
