The Gathering : "Mandylion"

Review Score: (10/10)

***** - FIVE STARS
==================

OH THIS IS SOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!!!!

I love Lacuna Coil, but this may actually be what I've been searching for the whole time. This is METAL. It's heavier than I expected, and very melodic. I've always been a huge Maiden fan as well, so those melodic guitars were really great to hear!!!....

I was completely floored when I first heard this. It's a true MASTERPIECE in my opinion. BUY IT NOW!!!!....

Great for fans of Lacuna Coil / Evanescence / Nightwish. Hell, even old-schoolers like myself enjoy music this good....
