This Dutch death metal band is a true hidden gem, often overlooked. The album boasts impeccable guitar work, brutal vocals, and outstanding sound quality. It's puzzling that their fan base isn't larger, given the high caliber of their music. The guitars play a central role, and the vocals are skillfully executed, with Silvester, the frontman, standing out alongside the hardworking efforts of the entire four-member ensemble.


Undoubtedly deserving of more recognition, they easily merit a solid "B" rating or higher on their next release. Their death metal is of the highest quality and immensely enjoyable.


These musicians mean business; their catchy guitar riffs showcase their expertise. The entire album is a highlight, and it's high time for this Dutch band to follow up, considering their last release was in 2017. Anticipation for more of their music is building.


The vocals seamlessly complement the music, and the production quality is superb, a rarity in the obscure corners of death metal. Time will tell when their next release will be, and this review may well encourage them to hit the studio soon.


Silvester's dedication to his vocal performance is commendable, harmonizing well with the music. The unique and top-notch quality of the guitars stands out and draws parallels to American death metal bands rather than following the Swedish style.


Silvester's vocal prowess coupled with the distinctive guitars creates a powerful combination. It's my hope that they continue adding to their discography; prematurely cutting off their potential would be a tragedy for the death metal community. Let's savor this release, as the uncertainty of the next one adds to its allure. Cheers to the band for their outstanding musical contributions!
