Interesting mix, I'm not a speciallist but they call it 'Melodic Death Metal'!

I listened to Death Metal, Progressive Metal, Power Metal and maybe some Trash metal influences on the album.

Vocals alternate all time from clean vocals and harsh vocals, guitars shredding a lot at some moments, some synthetizers here and there, some chorus a la Power Metal. Hard riffs, quick drums, bass can't be heard if you're not an 'expert' like in a lot of metal records.

Not an unblievible album in my point of view, but there's some really interesting moments and yeah, you can listen it from beginning to end without boring yourself, it's enjoyable.

I think the only annoying part is the beginning of the last track 'Ghost Prototype II: Deus Ex Machina', too much 'melodic' for me.
