Wovenwar returns mightily. My one criticism of the debut release was that many of the songs followed a similar structure and sound. Thankfully, Honor is Dead is a much more diverse and powerful collection of songs, drawing strength equally from each member’s skillset. They shortened things up a bit and settled for a smaller collection of better songs. Shane Blay takes it to the next level, delivering a harsher vocal onslaught on many songs (not unlike Periphery and the like), yet all the while retaining his more melodic qualities. There is plenty of guitar aggression – the patented leads and riffs endemic to these guys – but we never (thankfully) get run over with a wall of deafening noise for more than a few satisfying moments as the focus remains on the song and not impressing with crushing shred. Similarly, Mancino mixes up the footwork in a way that keeps things rhythmic, avoiding the clichéd machine gun double bass onslaught of sixteenths rampant in today’s metal scene. There is a mature vibe here that is decidedly metallic yet melodic all the same. Who was it that predicted the demise of metalcore a few years back?

Fits perfect. Wish the knurled portion was just a touch larger in diameter, it's the exact same size as the filler neck...might be tough to get off in winter with gloves. All in all, I'm very pleased with the product. It will do the job.

It does squeak a bit when I use it but i turn up the TV. still, it would be nice if it didn't make noise
