To cut a long story short: there's nothing wrong with this second album. During the first minutes of the album 'Absence' I can't help thinking that I'm listening to "Six Feet Under goes eighties hard rock". The deep, dark grunt of vocalist Antti Haapanen is backed by a very melodic twin guitarsound and due to that 'The End Of The Century' seems to be the prelude of a modern death metal album. - Lords of Metal
