With "Legacy Chain" Galvanic have launched a 5 pronged attack on the senses. The album is littered with catchy melodies and soon-to-be-classic riffs. The industrial edge makes Galvanic stand out from the masses of melodic metal bands around at the moment.
The album appears to be very well thought-out and there are brilliant little touches here and there - the end of "Insufferable" should be mentioned here, as should the spoken intro to the title track and the whole of "Vexation" and "Unison".
The album isn't perfect (at times I wasn't overly keen on the lyrics, but that may just be me), but it's definitely a good start. The songs in general are great, the production is top notch, the vocals varied (variety is the spice of life!) and the musicianship is brilliant. While there is still room for improvement, I'd still highly recommend this release. With "Legacy Chain" Galvanic have achieved what many bands hope to do with their 2nd or 3rd album - make a record that's highly memorable and instantly accessible - but they've managed to do it with their first.
