Chiodos-Bone Palace Ballet *****

Being from my home town of Detroit, Michigan I thought I would give Chiodos a chance. This was the first album I found so I grabbed it. I wasn't disappointed in the slightest bit.

From the opening crys of 'Is It Progression If A Cannibal Uses A Fork' through the emotionality of 'I Didn't Say I Was Powerful, I Said I Was A Wizard' to the closing guitar drone of 'The Undertakers...' Bone Palace Ballet is a great album from a band that fits no genre. Juxtaposing classical with metal and acoustic balladry and intense hardcore vocals.

If something new and intense yet soulful is up your alley then Chiodos and Bone Palace Ballet just might be your thing. It is easily the best the best underground album of the last however many years. Highly recommended.
