Not much. This album is one for metal fans. To enjoy it entirely you have to really like guitar solos. The More I See seem especially proud of their fretwork. Each solo – and there are many – is credited on the sleeve as 'Solo - Gizz' or 'Solo – Gaz'. During "Fear Of Death" we are informed that the following took place 'Solo 2 - Gav/Gizz harmony'. I can't differentiate between the styles of the two players, but then I don't need to as I like neither. Each solo sounds like it could exist independently of the song it inhabits. No doubt each are technically impressive, but to my ears they sound interchangeable.

Perhaps realising his limitations, Gizz has hired one Chad Sunderland for vocal duties. His performance is solid rather than transcendent. He can certainly sing, and infuses his vocals with passion. His style suits this modern rock. The band show great intensity, but about what you might ask? The lyrical themes suggest the band plays a lot of computer games and watch a lot of horror films. Fans of the Mummy genre and fast-paced metal will enjoy "Igniting The Flame" which tells the story of someone who 'died' without having found their goal. Following mummification and reanimation, we are informed: 'Your reign of terror has only begun...'

Some esoteric rhythms suggests that "Fear Of Death" is going to crash and burn at any moment, but it manages to make it to the end of the near six minute running time without collapse. An instrumental climax, which passes without solo, is particularly hypnotic. Up to and including "Bloodline" each song has a similar pace. You can't deny that the band have energy to spare, I just wish they had varied the pace at which they expressed it. As if in response to my desires the band drop the pace for "Empty", at least initially. The More I See aren't the sort of band who do ballads, but I suspect this is the closest they come to it. The song soon becomes a lumbering beast, returning to the quietness at the end.

It is unfair to expect any album loosely associated with Fields of the Nephilim, to sound like Carl McCoy and Co. With The Nephilm moving in metal fields Gizz is the perfect person to bring the raw power to their live sound. The nearest we get to a McCoy-influence is via H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos in the closing song "Veiled By Greed". It talks of 'Writhing masses of decay/Squid like tails.' Should the Great Old Ones rise again, I suggest that mankind's only hope would be to play them this album – it's bound to have them running for the hills.
