Classically-schooled guitarist Eyal Levi, along with fellow six-stringer Emil Werstler, unleash some killer leads and tastefully-done solos that buoy a more focused and cohesive record. Moving over to Century Media Records and with a new vocalist on board and Kevin Talley rooted firmly behind the drumkit (Talley split duties with two other skin-bashers on THE HINDERERS), Daath has streamlined its lineup and written some truly top-notch songs here. Skip ahead two years and THE CONCEALERS finds Daath in a very different position. Even looking back at it today, THE HINDERERS remains a solid but terribly disjointed album. It was ridiculous the pomp and hyperbole put into selling Daath to the fickle masses and THE HINDERERS was delivered with such lofty expectations, many in the press had problems getting past the rhetoric. When Roadrunner Records signed Atlanta, Georgia’s Daath and began the promotional onslaught for 2007’s THE HINDERERS, one would have thought this band had not only re-invented heavy metal, but could walk on water and cure cancer””all by one fell swoop of a guitar.
