Two things are really extreme in this promo copy I received. First one is the music: fast and ultra brutal death metal, in the vein of bands like Origin and The Berzerker. Second, it is the annoyance of the repeatedly sounded message "you are listening to a new promotional cd, which is property of Massacre Records". Good people of Massacre Records have mercy and don't fill your promos with stuff like that! It's true though that hearing this message twice in each track isn't enough to subtract the comprehensiveness from the album. So, wanna know what I think? We have a new band here, comprised of experienced musicians - both singer and drummer are former Necrophagist members - who are definitely skilled players, but not equally good songwriters. There are highlights in the record, my favorite ones being "Malformed Magnificence" and "Pain is God", but I was left with the overall impression of an album being a bit... flat. I heard it a lot of times, and I still couldn't really distinguish one song from another, probably due to the really few variations/changes in their riffology. Sure, some will find this to be a good thing; the world is filled with deathsters who love to hear ultrafast music and guttural vocals. I welcome that too, still that's not the most important aspect of a brutal band for me. The overall work done here is good, but could be better.
