March 31, 2009 Deathcore band Impending Doom released their cd "The Serpant Servant." It is their sophmore release and shows much improvemnt. The major issue(which is not considered a issue by all) is that this album sounds almost near identical to Whitechapel's "This is Exile." It is a common opion amongst a lot a people that listen to this kind of music. The mix is near identical, the riffs are mear identical, even some of the fills are near identical. Over all it just kinda sounds like whitchapel. HOWEVER this does not make it a bad cd. I personally enjoy the cd very much. This cd is not completley the same and still offers some unique and interesting material. Some of the breakdowns in this cd i like more than breakdowns on "this is exile" and I like the drumming way more in this cd. Although the vocalist only does low/mid screams he still brings a great beastly quality to the mix. My one and only real problem with the album is the lyrics and message. Impending Doom is a christian metal band. Their lyrics derive from christian themes and messages. Things like, "We will battle for our kingdom. We are More than Conquerers!" and "When everythings God, Anything goes!" It pretty much sucks but whatever. Point is.. this cd is an amazing metal cd but I dock points for originality. I give it a 8 out of 10.
