4/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Here we go again - more brutal death metal from Indonesia in the style of Brodequin and Disgorge. There are no catchy riffs, no break from the brutality, and no standard songwriting. It's all brutality, all the time on this record. Honestly, I can't even wrap my head around this. The riffs and drums are such a whirlwind that I can barely tell where one riff ends and the next starts, in part because they're all so similar. This has always been my complaint with some of the ultra brutal stuff. They're obviously tight as fuck, because they often stop on a dime, and there's no slop in their attack. There's a technical aspect to them, of course, there has to be with stuff like this. It's impressive, but I'm completely lost in the madness. The vocals never stop. This guy sings over every riff in every song. At least his ultra-guttural vocals are awesome. There's no pig shit on this one, just solid guttural growls. If you like ultra-brutality, you may be into this, but if you're looking for cohesive songwriting and structures that you don't have to concentrate to understand, this is a pass.
