![]() The atmospheric, epic and powerful ''The Dawn of All'' featuring Björn Strid has a wonderful melancholic, melodic and modern touch that would actually foreshadow Soilwork's future releases. The concise, focused and melodic ''Schizo'' featuring Peter Tägtgren could easily be a solid candidate for a Hypocrisy single for instance. Instead of developing a coherent sound, flow or concept, the songs on this album sound a lot like the bands of the different singers featured here. While this release certainly has more ups than downs and deserves some attention, praise and recognition, it isn't as balanced, creative and profound as the simultaneously release Into the Light that focused on the label's gothic, heavy and power metal sounds. The final result obviously couldn't be a perfectly consistent affair and sounds like a compilation. Each track features a singer of a different band that was signed by the label back then. In order to celebrate its twentieth anniversary, renowned German metal label Nuclear Blast asked Swedish bassist, guitarist and keyboarder Peter Wichers of Soilwork fame to write a record consisting of ten songs focusing on melodic death and thrash metal.
