"The Crusade" was condemned by many as merely a replica of Metallica, but I don't see nothing wrong about a band evolving to a much better phase under the influence of their heroes. I have listened to their previous efforts and didn't found them as interesting as this one, and even though their latest album, "Shogun", shown a balance combination of these three records , I still think this album is by far their best effort, but that's probably because my ears were designed for the old-school Bay Area rifftastic fest.

"Ignition", "Detonation", and "Anthem" are exquisite friendly tracks with "Entrance of The Conflagration" standing high as my favourite track of the album. A little sloppy on several songs but grew stronger on "To The Rats" and "This World Can't Tear Us Apart". This album was perfectly closed with the epic-moment of the instrumental title track which can become "The Call of Ctulu" of Trivium.

If you like classic thrash that's gently mixed with heavy metal and a slight progressive formula, you'll probably like this one, and I suggest don't you give a damn about the harsh critic about how Heafy sounded a lot like Hetfield because I think this is much better than listening to Metallica's Load-era that had turned them from thrash to trash.
