Music genre
For the first time, Apocalyptica also use percussion on this album . The cellos sound distorted for the first time .
Overall, the album is a tightrope walk between metal and classic . The melodies show certain similarities to the songs Sepulturas and Metallicas , e.g. B. the melody of Path is reminiscent of Master of Puppets . The songs Fight Fire with Fire and Until It Sleeps were taken directly from Metallica. In contrast to the previous albums, only three cover versions are included: the two aforementioned Metallica songs and Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg .
