Summon In Thunder (CD)
Since the start of their career in the dying days of the second millennium, Seattle's Himsa have been plagued with incessant personnel issues, and though they've somehow managed to withstand a Spinal Tap-like musician turnover rate in order to release four full albums in the early 2000s, their supporters have understandably suffered for it. After all, heavy metal fans may be a loyal bunch, sometimes willing to stick with a band even when they can't be sure who will be taking to the stage on any given night, but loyalty is a two-way street, and Himsa's somewhat amorphous musical signature (or lack thereof), mixing elements thrash, death, metalcore, traditional, and even nu-metal, hasn't helped their cause, either. On the surface, though, 2007's Summon in Thunder would appear to be an attempt to rectify all that, and most will agree that the band (or their current iteration, anyway) does seem focused like never before on establishing a consistent, melodic neo-death/thrash template of their own.
