'Dear Desolation' is another step up on the heaviness that the band brings to the table and I have to say, I'm good with that. You want music to help you get your rage out, get you ready to break something, this is your album right here. Bone-shattering riffs and monstrous rhythms await you on this release. The one downer on the album is the muddied vocals throughout. It feels like they were mixed lower and overshadowed by the music. All in all, this is another quality release from a band that continues to evolve their sound.
