Called To Arms dishes out a stellar helping of awesome by fusing together a plethora of heavy metal sub-genres, all the while keeping a varied, original and interesting sound.
Peril and the Patient is stunning in the way it all comes together... It's a magnificently fun, fluid, and intriguing listen that accomplishes everything it set out to achieve.
Peril and the Patient is a slick listen for those with a sweet tooth for metal – easily one of the year’s best in its genre.
