Your Last Wish are a Canadian Melodeath act that have been around for over a decade, but this, their most recent release, is my first exposure to them. Can't say it's an unfavorable one, as they have some really solid melodic work reminiscent of old Arch Enemy and a sense of groove and urgency in the compositions that many other bands aim for and fail at having. On the other hand, the songs themselves don't really stand out, so the album tends to fly by without leaving much of an impression, and the vocals are of that Angela Gossow school of being strictly mediocre at best and occasionally rather bad at worst. I don't know if we need more bands like this, but at the very least they could all stand to be this good.
