Facebook Page - Coverkiller Nation

Redemption won the 2009 Album of the Year award with "Snowfall on Judgement Day" so now its time to see what kind of muscle their follow-up to that disc, This Mortal Coil can flex.

As is usually the case with Redemption, this album is deep and rich in musical sound and lyrics. You guys did another great job with this album! Thank-you!

What are you on about? Man.

I am not too impressed with Ray's vox on this album, to be honest. His singing on the Journey tune, "Edge of the Blade", is particularly weak and forced.

As well, I am NOT into the guitar sound. Too thick and undefined ... certainly for much of what this music calls for. It's unfocussed and sounds like a wet batch of cement.

@vivace679 Take 2...don't give it another thought, man. Other than thinking that you're wrong because those songs don't like the other other ones! ;) Hope you like the next one more and thanks for taking the time to post your thoughts!

@nvandyk I really wish it was my itunes Origins of Ruin review you had read instead of this...When that album came out lets just say i could really identify with that character on the cover and it was just so fantastic. That i was critical about a song about your daughter is awful, i am sorry...I guess have done my best to ignore the inspiration for your music. I know it sounds terrible but in a way its a compliment. Its(for the most part) brilliant music. The rest in some sense is irrelevant.

I checked it out...wow, let's just say I don't hear anything that you are hearing. Keep Breathing is about my daughter being legally blind...has nothing to do with Sapphire. B&WW sounds NOTHING like Bleed Me Dry. I could go on, but to each his own. I appreciate you putting the effort into it, at least, and glad you liked some of it! I now return you to your Cannibal Corpse lyrics. ;)

@nvandyk I wanted to find my high octane review Origins i did back in the day when it was released on itunes it was a really steller review but it seems to have disappeared. I semi slammed Snowfall in a review i wrote for a friend when it was first released. I posted it here: hmmm cant seem to post a link here and its too long to paste...check out vivace at sputnikmusic

@vivace679 I'd be interested!

@ZGoten They definitely are for me! Great melodies, great virtuosity, right amount of heavyness,... Simply amazing! Each of their albums is great in its own way. However, I wouldn't really recommend their first one, which is still good, though.
