This album is a damn masterpiece. Agreed on Grind Wit being the best thing ever. These guys are extremely consistent also. This has to be my favorite rediscovery of a discography that I can recall. I got into these guys so early and honestly my main attraction to it was the fact that the vocals had such a wide variety going on but man there's so much more awesomeness going on outside of just that. Mind=Blown

The second one is probably my next favorite in their discography aside from this one but it's quite different from this and the rest of their discography really. That one has some twisted melodies sprinkled in it that really have a unique sound to them. ICP is also pretty awesome but I'm a sucker for wacky baselines and that one was chalk full of them. The Blasphemer level vocal insanity of their mid and later work is very appealing to me

Can't wait to hear this one. Asylum Cave ripz, Carnivore Sublime suckz. Hopefully this pushes me back on the right track with them. M///

This is bar none their best, though I do also thoroughly enjoy Identisick and Asylum. The rest have diminishing returns, but are varying levels of solid, grind-y dm

5 tracks in, this is probably the heaviest band I've heard, while also being super versatile and interesting, not to mention their use of melody. holy shit these guys are good



also their vocalist is totally better than Will Ramos, fight me

Spun this heavily around the time it came out and would have rated it a lot higher back then. This arguably being their most diverse offering justifies the avg, but I prefer the direction they took on later releases, i.e. speed over quirkiness.

If you consider exploring more of their discog, you can safely skip the lower-rated ones imo. Definitely not the most consistent band.

Their debut is the only one I can say is fully skippable. Carnivore Sublime has some HARD skips, but it also has some really fun tracks.

This is the kind of music (and Wormed) that I should have started with when it comes to acquainting myself with pig squeal vocals, for too long I thought it was some shitty poser technique that scene deathcore kids did for some reason hahah

Identisick-Asylum Cave are all fucking immense but I can't say i've touched Identisick in awhile. New one is absolutely the best since Asylum and might veer towards actually being the most freaky and intense they've gotten thus far. Also has the most high-octane pig squeals/snare fill combo at the end of "Nothing Left to Fear" that actually jump scared me a time or two lmao

These last handful of comments got me to re-spin their newest and yeah that shit absolutely fucking rips. Fantastic speed and some really creative moments sewn in, might be top 3 for them
