Amalgamation does not mean groundbreaking. Sometimes, combining two juxtaposed genres does actually sound really forward thinking, but that is when the band manages to throw their own spice in. Crowned By Fire is a group that plays like an over-skilled tribute band. It's impossible to state that they're bad by any stretch, because they clearly have a solid grasp on their sound, too bad the sound is carbon-copied from 4 other bands.
