The whole album lasts 32 minutes, so you can devote such a short time to listening this album. Each song is in one convention genre Metalcore.
Song to which the first official video was made is "Night Terror". In this song the band enters immediately with a powerful riff and then we hear the singer powerful growl. Actually, if we're talking about a vocal, growl is a definite advantage. A little later in the chorus we can hear the powerful, but very pleasant to the ear, clean voice.
Guitar riffs are very firm, which adds the character of the strength and firmness of the whole song, and conclude with the quote "Wisdom points the way, Strength is in the back", which means that wisdom has an advantage over strength.

Next song is "Apollo". This song will definitely appeal to people who like powerful sounds. The clean voice that appeared in "Night Terror" is not in "Apollo", Vocalist in that song definitely put on scream and growl. Unfortunately, we'll not refer directly to the song lyrics, because the interpretation is not very well understood - but thy are really interesting itself.

"Embrace Reality" is the title song of  the album. This track's definitely from the two above mentioned by us, because in the beginning everything is with a strong kick, sharp and fast riffs and heavy vocals, but at the end the music gets lighter, the decisive advantage is the drum, and then suddenly comes the clean vocal, which in our opinion it was a big surprise. When we listened to this unexpected voice, once again we were surprised because the song was finished with growl and stronger music. Referring to the lyrics, author wants to convince someone to his faith (doubts the existence of God). To emphasize his doubt, he refers to this part: asking a rhetorical question "what if Gods  is not real" and he adds "put into place like a serf on a throne". (If God was put on this throne by his choice or if he was put there by force). By force, we think that author was thinking that people, who believe that God exists, are putting him without asking if he wants to be placed on this thing called "Throne".


We think that devoting 32 minutes to listenreally great CD you don't lose anything at all, but you can gain a band that you love. Certainly this one won't disappoint you. We recommend it primarily to people listening to Metalcore or Post Hardcore, but also to everyone who listens to other music types. Or maybe you'll find your favorite music genre?
