7/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
This Slovakian legion can write a fucking song! The tracks are full of groove but also plenty of pleasantly interesting riffs. When they blast, they go all-in with truly fast blastbeats. The vocals are powerful and deep, no half-assing it here at all, and the singer has developed good memorable vocal patterns. Some of the grooves remind me of Unleashed, as does their sense of melody (when it emerges from the brutality). Of course, as soon as I make this comparison, they throw something completely different at me - they have a real variety of riffs and aren't afraid to use them. They have one of the best guitar tones I've heard in a while. There's even a lot of 1990s Florida in their sound, particularly Deicide during slower parts. All this is played at a highly proficient level, and they aren't afraid to be technical here and there. We also get a Demigod cover as an added bonus, which is always welcome. This is solid death metal for the true death-heads, so track it down.
