Great technical death metal that is able to show off all the skills while still managing to be memorable, heavy, and even occasionally melodic. The bass player, in particular, deserves a mention here because he is definitely the star of the show, even if he is sometimes buried in the mix during the more chaotic moments. If there is a flaw, it is the vocals. They're just a little too two-dimensional for me, but they get the job done.

The review is pretty much spot on. Augury display hard-hitting tech death with a splash of prog, most prominent in the bass guitar. Some death metal fanatics scoff at the use of this bass in the genre but Dominic Lapointe's performance is truly memorable and, literally, cannot be ignored on this album. Besides the obvious talent from every musician, the songwriting here is spot on with rapid tech death outbursts giving way to instrumental jams, solos and the occasional groovy riff. Augury know how to play with those highs and lows and this is truly exemplified in Mater Dolorosa, the best track on the record. Beyond the bass, the vocalist puts on a memorable performance with disgusting guttural lows, screeching demon highs and some catchy cleans in between.
