After enjoying their last album, Heart of the Hurricane, I had fairly high expectations for this release.  But unlike a few other bands this year, Beyond the Black delivered.  This might not appeal to everyone on the forum, but is highly recommended for fans of female fronted modern rock with some symphonic metal influences.  While they still have a foot firmly planted in hard rock/metal this moves the band a little further towards the commercial side of the genre.  The tracks 'Misery' and 'I Won't Surrender' are good examples of that, as I could easily see those songs being performed by a number of female, pop artists.  The album has several stand out tracks, but my initial favorites would be the title track, 'Welcome to My Wasteland', 'Golden Pariahs' and 'Wounded Healer'.  This one has a good chance of ending up in my top 10 this year.
