Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Polished melodic death metal with clear verse-to-chorus contrasts and a well-paced main sequence, though its songwriting stays within familiar genre lines.
What we noticed
- The original eleven-track sequence ends with “Only When I'm Breathing”; “Hennessy” and “Twin Flame” are appended on this catalogued edition.
- Across the main sequence, distorted, tightly driven verses repeatedly open into cleaner, melodic vocal choruses, keeping the songs legible without dropping the metal framework.
- The title track arrives tenth, so the record holds its named centerpiece until near the end rather than using it to establish the opening.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
