This band was formed by ex-members of Massacre, so it's no wonder they sound a lot like their former band, and with the addition of Terry Butler from Obituary on bass, you can imagine that they get compared to them as well. They operate in the same thrashing death metal space that Massacre does, hearkening back to the late 1980s and early 1990s with their sound. I think the vocals could be more powerful, and the singer is quite breathy. I want to hear some real roars, and that just isn't on offer here. The songs seem a bit overwrought to me as well, a bit long-winded, just going on for a little too long in each instance. I respect what they're trying to do and have done, but it's just not as good as it should be. This is my first exposure to them, so it's possible the first two albums are a bit better. I'll have to investigate.
