Higher quality in past times? Yeah
Modern times? Naaa

For sure dude. Spawn of Possession, First Fragment, Gorguts, Ascariasis, Deviant Process, Dionaea (kind of a mix of styles tbqh), Ordinance, Setentia (also a mix), Virvum, Contortionist, Faceless, so on and so on

But given your taste I suspect you'd hate every single one of those so whatever, you do you

Yeahhhhh. Setentia is tolerable sometimes though.

Making progress

album is sweet. burppp

Album Rating: 4.0

For me this is the album where they started to get better. This record is way better than Cosmogenesis imo. Still prefer Alkaloid for the songwriting by a wide margin. This is more techy though, so if that's your thing...

Two year bump to appreciate the bass here. It's absolutely delicious.
