2024 Emanzipation Productions (CD/LP)

This is a solid death metal release. Plenty of everything you would expect in a death metal record is here, with excellent riffs that chug when they need to, sickly solos, and plenty of up-tempo thrash beats. The vocals are very strong, deep, and enunciated with satisfying patterns. Heavy breakdowns get inserted at just the right part of the song, and the heaviness gets turned up just at the right time. There are even melodic sections, but only when they accentuate the heaviness. I recommend this one highly if you like how death metal was performed in the 1990s in Europe, even down to the melodic solos, but with a heavy American-style edge. I wasn't familiar with their past work, but the history of the band is fairly lengthy, going back to 1991 for their first demo. They have the pedigree, and they deliver the goods. What more could you ask for?
