There are some albums you admire for their serenity, their subtlety, and their ability to really make you think. This is not an album that could ever be confused with one of those. What it is instead, boldly and with an utter confidence few other bands could hope to even fake, is one the most formidably constructed sonic batteries ever intentionally summoned up and release upon an unsuspecting populace without a trace of mercy. Virtually every song is a flurry of impossible riffs that sounds more like a blizzard of razors than anything so innocently named as a ‘note’. What truly sets this apart from any current band is the phenomenal skill possessed by its executors. This album is authentically violent. Priceless riffs before terminating in an absolute headbanger's paradise. What makes this band special for me is their willingness to smash to bits any of the expectations of the extreme metal that don't conform to their vision. It filters the strengths of the genre through the high level of musicianship. It does what modern Death metal rarely dares to do: Meloly and brutality at the same time, it actually kicks ass.
