    When I think of arpeggio and speed metal sounding shred, Pantheum is always what I hear since this album released. The trading leads immediately reminded me of Cacophony and you guys are one of the few modern bands to build off that sound in a technical, yet still catchy way. This album just get's me stoked on guitar, music in general but it makes me want to play!
