Another brutal one!  But this is way tighter and lots of great riffs!  The vocals are about the same as the predecessor.  But it's stronger hence then 90% score.  Even the band was really proud of this release.  The quality of the songs were to a greater caliber than any of their existing LP's.  It'll be great when I actually get this on CD! These guys cover it all with the tempos it's heavy but slower then faster.  They seem to maintain slower riffs/tempos throughout. Sounds like they tune the guitars low. They are totally underground on their compositions. The leads are well done on here too!


This album is under an hour in length but that is how much brutality they are able to put forth through your speakers. Everything about this album deserves to be mentioned because Kyle and crew just slayed!  Actually am getting their CD though it's only available on their record label Hells Headbangers Records.  I thought that the compositions were way in line with their concept for this release.  They themselves felt that the band as a whole went above and beyond with this release.  I heard the change from 'The Forbidden Arts' to this one.  It's a whole lot stronger they succeeded in their goal of what they wanted to come out with this!


The sound quality to the album is excellent.  I feel like everything was superb! They really did great on this LP.  I think the biggest thing is making the guitar riffs much catchier than their last, the music was fresh and original.  I listened to this album repeatedly and not once did I get sick of it.  It's pretty brutal, but the music in some cases are melodic bit with a load of chunk riffs but overall superb musicianship.  This band continues to get better on each succeeding release.  It's all that can be expected of a band not fall backwards like say Deicide without the Hoffman brothers in the band. This is Kyle's band and he's consistent.


I ordered this CD as mentioned previously on Hells Headbangers.  Hopefully, there's quite a bit of a future for this band.  I think as long as their music is being explored, then they'll keep putting out LP's.  I believe that this is their strongest album to date.  There's songs that are consistent and memorable. I thought that just hearing it on the digital was good to get the essence of the release just getting a physical copy will be fantastic!  If you are unaware of this band's albums, they're available on digital try this album and 'The Forbidden Arts' and listen for yourself if it's your cup of tea. This release is fantastic!
