An immaculate release, surpassing their previous album "Wrong One To Fuck With." This onslaught of brutal death metal is a testament to their mastery. While the vocals maintain their potency from the predecessor, the riffs showcase a significant improvement this time around. These artists exhibit a profound understanding of their craft, delivering a release that is both heavier and more technically refined.

It's evident that they invested more time in the songwriting process, resulting in a work that stands out. Some may be hesitant to embrace this band for various reasons, but for death metal enthusiasts, this album is unparalleled. The technical intricacies are present, yet the tight rhythms add an extra layer of allure compared to the previous record. They've elevated their game, and the distinction becomes apparent when comparing the two albums.

While retaining elements from their predecessor, this album boasts superior songwriting. The riffs, in particular, leave a lasting impression, complemented by the commanding vocals. The vocal dynamics, traded off between two members, contribute to the overall appeal. It feels like there's a deliberate shift towards emphasizing the musicality rather than solely relying on the vocals.

This band defies easy classification, encompassing brutal death/grindcore and technical death metal, showcasing impressive diversity. The album captivates from start to finish, prompting my decision to support the band by purchasing the CD. The vocals harmonize seamlessly with the intense guitar work, creating an uncompromising death metal experience. Despite my earlier comments, this album predominantly leans towards the brutal side, and its immaculate guitars remain a highlight. The intensity persists throughout, incorporating melodic guitar riffs that complement the overall brutality.

The lead guitars shine, but it's the rhythmic interplay with the vocals that particularly stands out. The recording is immaculate, showcasing a thoughtful approach. Every track holds its own, and I invite anyone to listen before attempting to dispute my praise. This album delivers exceptional metal quality from the first note to the last, with production quality that adds to its overall appeal.
