"Shogun is by far the sweetest, most rockin Hardcore/Metal/classical band I have ever heard. I have been going to their shows in Boulder, Denver, Conifer and Evergreen for a long time. My hardcore band opened for them a few times, but we sucked. anyway, everything about this CD rocks. they are extremely together like no other music I have heard besides the dillinger escape plan, but shogun's music is better anyway. the Drumming is incredible, the guitar work is mind boggling, and the screaming is really sweet. the songs are well written, recorded, and executed. they mix classical background with off time, really heavy sweetness and riffs that took me 4 months to figure out... if you get a chance ever, also pick up their ep's "Everything I love..." and "What sin has Twisted" . there are a lot of amazing HC and metal bands, Iron Maiden, Children of Bodom, Taken, Atreyu, Cave In, to mention a few, but this Boulder quintet takes the cake, I'm not even kidding you. Seeing them live is another experience all together-AMAZING. but that wont happen any time soon unless a reunion tour is in stock. words cant express how cool this band is. just do whatever it takes to buy this. thank you."
