Two songs in and I'm digging this a lot. It doesn't seem to be going overboard with the annoying guitar wankery that turns me off to so much tech-death. Although the glitchy vocals are a little goofy sometimes lol

The vocals are the best part lol

I dig them when they're not artificially chopped, unless he's doing that himself, in which case mad props haha

Well, mad props then and I stand corrected! Between this and the Immolation album tis a crazy day for death metal releases.

Album rips as always!!! Oli could've been an amazing auctioneer but good for us he chose tech death. Still, I'd love to hear a track where he's just actioning off random antiques at light speed.

hell yeah album rips hard bros

Liminal Cypher is a hell of an opener. Plus they give you an authentic slam breakdown so miss me with that "this is just sweeping wankery" cause these dudes are definitely playing with dynamics.



Can't imagine what Oli's vocal warmups are like.

Yes, is why I say I like it because they avoid the wankery that's common in tech-death. It never feels like they're trying to impress the clerk at Guitar Center. Album rips big time!

I am not sure whether this appeals to me at all. Though I can recognise the immense instrumental skill on display here and while the guitar/bass tone is quite excellent with the production appropriately polished to bring out the technical nuances, this record feels rather by-the-numbers to me. Many compositions seem almost 'popified' in their structural repetition, the soaring guitar leads melodically too straightforward and the temporality largely oscillating between the same 'very fast' to mid tempo sections with uninventive chuggy riffs. I like my tech death to be more jagged, angular, and structurally dense, and, indeed, more dissonant, more furiously, viciously, contrapuntal, even atonal: this feels almost too invested in accessibility in spite of its technicality; it offers the listener too much to hold on to despite the speed it reaches. I think I prefer tech death of the sort that displaces any sense of comfort (either rhythmically/tempo-wise or harmonically/melodically), that tears me apart, pushes me all over the place; this is more like a fun, at times a little bouncy, rollercoaster ride that yet ever remains on the 'tracks.'

More like Busta's feature on Worldwide Choppers.



Enjoyed the album in full but we'll see if it has staying power for me. Liminal Cypher and Limb of Leviticus are probably the standouts. I appreciate that it's a relatively brief album too cause these sort of albums struggle to not sound homogenous from beginning to end.

Slays

I still cannot understand the hate these guys got for the Kickstarter

This is hands down my favorite rap rock CD of the year, and easily the best thing twista has been a part of in at least a decade.
