This Austrian duo find their way back onto the list with Scorched Earth. These guys have the emotionally driven melodic death metal down pat. I think this latest slab of tunes might be one of their strongest. I was lucky enough to see them tour on this album earlier in the year and highly recommend checking them out if they make it to your town.
