"This will be my first review for any amazon product so let me apologize now if its not the greatest!!

I cant believe nobody has submitted a review for this album!! It seems that peoples tastes in music are very limited to what is popular, no matter what style of music they listen to.

Enemy of the sun really is a different kind of band, the closest i can say they sound like would be Faith no more, but even that is not accurate. EOTS has the heavy with the strange, off the wall musical changes like Faith but they keep it a little more on the heavy, trashy side. The music was written by Waldemar Sorychta, who has produced many bands including Lacuna coil, Sentenced, Tiamat, Eyes of eden and many more. He has also been involved with other bands, most notably Grip inc. With EOTS he truly stretches his musical vision with thrash riffing, spanish guitar influences, progressive construction of song flow, not so much with long segments of technical playing but with musical sound itself.His solos are also quite awesome, not too busy and very musical and complementary of the song itself. Truly it is a different sound, one that some wont find appealing, though I'm not sure how!! Vocally Jules Navier goes from death-y to thrash and a clean style similar to Mike Patton of Faith no more.The bass duties are handled by Alla Fedynitch. She backs the music with solid bass work and some standout lines that add the the structure and the sound of the song.Drummer Daniel Zeman is a great drummer and should be recognized for his playing. His playing adds a lot to the flow and style of the music, be it his double bass assault or his funky rhythm that bounces around, its all great sounding and adds that extra spark. All players on the album really shine and bring something cool to the plate, a very talented band that i think has a lot more to offer and hopefully will.

In conclusion this is a great band and i hope more people will discover it, cause as of now I'm the only one to know of them!! Take a chance, I HIGHLY doubt you will be disappointed."
