7/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
From the same metalists that brought us Artgore, we have a fifth studio album. Now, my last point of reference with this band was in fact the debut album, so I missed a lot of progression in between, so this review is more like a comparison of how their sound has progressed and what I think of it. They've matured, but the focus is still on good songs, good riffs, and a morbid atmosphere, just not as focused on gore. They're darker, with more of an evil feel than in the past. Although the gore is mostly gone, they're still nasty and heavy, and the core of the music still resembles the band on that debut album. I can hear similar themes in the riffs from album to album. Musically, this is a near-perfect outing, with fast and precise drumming, imaginative riffs, and a claustrophobic atmosphere. They've gone from a goregrind influenced sound to a dark beast of death metal, but the carcass is still recognizable. I recommend this one for any fan of the band, past or present.
