Rank: 25 for Long, adventurous epics consisted of winding metal riffs juxtaposed with mellower passages of acoustic and clean guitar harmonies.

What these impressive early releases suffered from, however, was lacking a real sense of cohesion. My Arms, Your Hearse is thankfully a complete overhaul of that formula. This third release is a concept album featuring a much darker, more intense sound overall.

The balance of light and dark that has always been present in their sound is displayed magnificently. The crushing metal of the first few minutes goes through a blur of transitions before immersing you into a beautifully poignant outro, all in only six minutes.

Depending on your preference, the shorter sections of calmer acoustic guitar playing will be either a positive or negative change. In any case, it is in service to a less meandering sound that is ultimately for the better.

These sections are still just as impressive as they ever were as well. New band member Martin Lopez contributes nicely to these new developments, contributing a furious drumming performance. The guitar riffs are also heavier and faster, with a far more immediate quality than heard before.

The production and mixing is much beefier than on Orchid or Morningrise , with the metal sections sounding appropriately heavy. The increased emotion he gives suits the dark, melancholic storyline appropriately. These lyrics tell a ghostly tale of loss, one that I will refrain from explaining here, as it must be experienced through hearing the album itself. Song lengths are the shortest of all their metal releases, and the musical style is streamlined to perfection, with no meandering qualities marring the effect.

Pummeling drums and frantic metal riffing drives it forward, being the first of many straightforward, furious recordings akin to the style of Deliverance. Soulful guitar soloing is played throughout, backed by a beautifully tranquil rhythm section. Brilliant melodic guitar harmonizing and soloing is found in nearly every song, courtesy of newly matured dual guitar-playing techniques.
