Dusk Chapel - A Passage to Forever

This album reminds me of my teens, when I just couldn't get enough Melodic Metal.  Shadows Fall, Arch Enemy, and Nevermore were all staples in my (now archaic) portable cd player.  Not that this band sounds like they'll be played on Headbangers Ball anytime soon, but their sound is quite accessible and nostalgic of 10 years ago.  Actually, this band sounds most like a Ukrainian version of The Chasm, with some later-Death techinicality and early Arch Enemy style solos.  Not bad, especially if you like this style.
