6/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
This is sick brutal death metal from a three piece that hails from countries as far apart as Estonia, Switzerland, and Indonesia. Gotta love the internet age, where collaborations can happen this way. The vocals are delivered in a low guttural style similar to Matti Way of Disgorge. There's quite a bit of grind influence here that really ups the intensity of the songs where it's most present. In fact, the drummer is the sickest part of this band, with super-fast blasts and even the occasional gravity blast. This is better-than-average stuff, and the songs all have catchy little hooks here and there amid the maelstrom. The only problem I have with this release as a whole is the verbose song titles - there are just too many words. Like "Satanic Matrix: Trapped in the Endless Depths of a Malevolent Quantum Field Pandemonium." Nile, eat your fucking heart out. And every song title is like this. What's wrong with just "Satanic Matrix" for a title? That sounds cool, not like the fuckin' nerd-fest of a title that the song actually has.
