10/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
I don't often hand out a perfect 10/10, and I have a lot to say about this record. This is vicious death/thrash with excellent vocals, but let's not stop at death/thrash as an explanation of their sound. They employ so many more influences than that. The guitar solos are fantastic and they feature prominently due to the long songs. This Chilean band absolutely blew me away from the first, epic, ballsy 10-minute track. Beginning with a song that long is a move not many bands would make, and these guys pulled it off. It's heavy, memorable, filled with killer hooks, and they really know how to ramp the intensity up and down to keep the listener interested. There's even an acoustic interlude that builds back up to an explosion quite spectacularly. I instantly became a fan after just this first song. Every song afterward is also perfect, and they consistently explore sonically with their instruments. I even hear little tinges of Emperor when they shift into a more black metal style of riffing during the record's frostier moments, and the deeper vocals the singer employs reminds me of Archgoat. He uses these for emphasis - his normal voice is a mid-range growl. They're always doing little fills and things throughout the record that really set the music apart. No one else sounds like this. Each track, from first to last, is a monument to death metal majesty with epic riffs and a brutal assault on the senses. This is a record you absolutely have to go track down and get, even if it's digitally, if you want to hear a modern death metal record that's perfect in every way. I even went and tracked down their first album as well. I suggest you do the same.
