"Behind Your Eyes" could very easily rival the title track with its smart flow and burning-from-all-cylinders execution. "Bleed Yourself" could have been easily shunned as an uninspired blatant hardcore track if it weren't for the intelligent choice of chords in its chorus. Unfortunately though, "Scars Never Die" and "Hail" are just that; blatant. The whole process isn't an enthralling listen but at least it doesn't overstay its welcome. _Lords of Torment_ is an album that may please a few Malevolent Creation fanatics if they have some tolerance for hardcore and it could also help with some mosh-pits at a summer festival. I just don't see it playing a more than ancillary role anywhere.
