3.5 greatBedex | July 29th 20

A cool debut that shows the same strengths and flaws I seem to always find with this band. Some bits are amazing with some fantastic riffing, some bits are fast and do the job without being stunning, and some bits really feel out of date. Tracks like 1,2, or 6 clearly show that. I seem to particularly enjoy the riffy conclusions on this one, with the conclusion to 5 (peak of the album, jammy),6,7 and 10 greatly surpassing the tracks they close. I generally like it less when they use a slower, doom tempo, but 1 or early on in 5 do make it work. 3 and 4 before the awkward midtrack break, 7 from the midtrack on (not hugely marking before that) and 8 despite the soloing which kinda works here ngl are also some cool dm tracks. 9 really hurts this album though, being the most outdated sounding track here. It could be from 89 if it weren't for the cleaner prod, and it's really the weakest track. The intro bass is its only redeeming aspect. The band is great at riffing but not so much at filling the melodic space between dem riffz, and it shows on 10 which seems to reuse melodies from the album and which itself seem to have been heard before a thousand times. The speedy midtrack does the job though, the conclusion is cool as I said, and the single break at 3:45 gives a glimpse of greatness, but overall these last two tracks do bring this down a half point. 3.45

Riffs on riffs. A massive throwback to the early 90s, and Autopsy stylew primitivd ugly death metal. Really cool, but not very innovative.

4.5 superbChino smoking it up! | November 28th 18

You're in this for a really grindy OSDM riff fest with shredding solos. You get the real Death and thrash vibes here. Practically no doom. Awesome and relentless debut. Production is really great and the vocals are mainly low growls but really punchy and interpretative. I put like on every track lol

there should be a new genre coined for this kind of album, baby dm or deathlite. weak, slow, unoriginal, this kind of music only serves br00tal kids thinking theyre listening to something heavy
