7/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Yet another vicious band from Ohio has arisen from the Trumpian muck of the state and given us their first new material in six years, and a full length at that. They play a solid mixture of death, black, and thrash metal that is seamlessly woven together into a whole that is greater than its components. The guitar playing is talented and the solos are well-constructed. There's a lot of melody and a lot of intricate playing overall. The vocals remind me of a mix of later-period Chuck Schuldiner and Ihsahn, and it's an effective style for the singer and fits the music perfectly. They have an almost progressive approach to some of their material, like the beginning of the titular track but it's tempered by true metal atmosphere and relentless power and intensity. They don't get carried away into "look-what-I-can-do" territory. The whole album has an almost epic feel to it due to the melodies they use. This is definitely worth your time and money, so pay attention, metal heathens, and visit their site to get your fix.
