STANDOUT TRACKS: Butchery Catharsis, The Cleaver Falls
6/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
From Sweden comes this death metal outfit with their third full length. This is not your typical Swedish stuff - this is more '90s Florida than anything, but the solos and melodies do seem to hearken back to the Swedish scene of old. There's clearly some Death influence in the guitar playing, and a few echoes of Exhumed or Carcass (especially in "Butchery Catharsis"). The musicianship is wonderful, and these fine gents have plenty of bands to their credit, and the experience shows. The vocals are absolutely reptilian, and they're perfectly performed. I just found it a little hard to get into this, because even though it's musically fine, the intensity just isn't there, at least for me. That said, there are a few standout tracks that I mention above. It's very ok death metal. If you're a true fiend like me and want to hear every band you can because it might be the one that trips your trigger, then definitely check it out.
