    Callisto is the band formerly known as Pulse from the Metal Rose Collection. Since their contribution to that compilation CD they've made progress. The tracks on Ordeal Of The Century are produced and constructed better. Musically it's still metalcore without really extreme speeds or chaotic rhythms. All the time it's slow or midtempo stuff with the harsh screams of Markus Myllykangas. But even with the lyric sheet in front of me it's hard to make out a word. Sometimes they could be a bit wilder, rhythmically, as these songs start sounding much like each other after a while. Ordeal Of The Century is a good product but as there are already so many metalcore discs out it's hard to stick out (and please the spoiled listener!).
