Anathemas 11th studio album pics out where We're Here Because We're Here left off and it turns out to be their strongest effort since "A Natural Disaste".

This band has something good going up, "The Dark Crusade" was promising but not quite there. Lonewolf have now stepped up their game and a ready to play at a higher lever. Army Of The Damned is without doubt their best album to date. I think this one will stand tall along with the best Power Metal albums of 2012.
