Best Songs on Quo Vadis' Defiant Imagination

Quo Vadis are a Canadian metal band formed in 1993.
Subgenre: Technical Melodic Death Metal (they combine melody and technicality; it's a very rare combination because usually melodic death metal bands aren't technical and vice versa).

Lyrical themes: Life, Belief

Defiant Imagination is their 3rd album released in 2004. I think there aren't bad songs on this album.

The Top Ten

1 Silence Calls the Storm

This song has several interesting moments: from the beautiful riffs to the fretless bass lines and tight drums, and last but not least - the epic scream/growl in the intro that is held for 17 seconds!

2 In Contempt

Lead guitar and bass stand out here (bass during the solo is sweet)

3 Fate's Descent

4 To the Bitter End

A guest vocalist provides lead vocals - Ian Campbell (from Neuraxis)

5 Tunnel Effect (Element of the Ensemble IV)

Very tight and exploding intro and the song doesn't slow down later

6 Break the Cycle

7 Dead Man's Diary

It's perhaps the album's most accessible song - not very fast or heavy compared to the other songs on the album. Bass is more audible here.

8 In Articulo Mortis (Live)

9 Ego Intuo et Servo Te
