"That editorial review up there is way off! Corpsegrinder's vocals on this sound just as brutal as they did for Cannibal Corpse's Gallery of Suicide and Wretched Spawn. The music on this has melody, but not that much that they should be compared with some of the bands I saw listed as ones people bought who bought this ... I mean, Children of Bodom and As I Lay Dying?! Paths is in no way like those bands. It's not Cannibal either, but if you loved Corpsegrinder's vocals on the two I mentioned, then you'll love this. I put this right up there with Vital Remains perfect release, Dechristianize. Don't pass this up just because some reviewer didn't get it right. This gets an easy 5 stars. Can't wait till the next one with Corpsegrinder on vocals hopefully.

Necrosoul."

Good Album!!

"This album is very good in my opinion. For all those who haven't heard Paths of Possession, it's some very melodic stuff, completely different than Cannibal Corpse. Kinda sounds like In Flames with a death metal voice. There are a couple songs that were on the Split CD with Dark Faith that are redone on this album. "The Butcher's Bargain" is totally ruined though, my favorite part was when Corpsegrinder's saying "I'm coming apart..." and theres is a sweet sounding squeal in the riff behind him. This squeal is barely audible and I don't think the guitarist is using the same note or guitar in the new recording. That is my only dissapointment. "A heart for a heart" is another one that was on the last album that sounds alot better. Their last song is "The Leg Flow of Death" formerly known as "The Icy Flow of Death" on the split cd. This song sounds great, much more of the guitar is heard and I think a new riff is added over the beginning. My personal favorite song on the CD is a new song called "Through The Fiery Halls" with a really badass verse riff and chorus. All in all this is an album that I would definately recommend to fans of melodic death metal and maybe even black metal fans. If you want to get the album before this one you can get it from Redstream.com, it's called "The Crypt of Madness". Dark Faith of Fort Pierce, Florida is also a great melodic band that finishes off the last six songs on the CD."
