Quo Vadis - Defiant Imagination (2004)

This is quite simply one of the best tech-death albums I've ever listened to. There's a perfect balance between technicality and melody which makes it very accessible for those who are turned off by the insanely technical bands that characterize much of the modern death metal scene. It's not as good as Death of course, but it's definitely up there with Obscura and others.
9.5/10
