We really don’t need anything else other than that chug73. Death metal is a pretty established sound, all it needs is some spirited songwriting and it’s good to go.

Eat some Gyro Dick, Gyro.
@balls
It's solid as hell, no doubt. I just think some people here are acting like it's untouchable. Best of the decade like the review says? I doubt that.

I don't really see any contenders for the "defining" DM album of the decade other than Colored Sands. Critical reverence notwithstanding, it actually expanded on a style that would become relatively commonplace in death metal of the 2010s. For better or worse, it's a sound that will be associated with this decade, much more so than any throwback stuff.

The drums on Coloured Sands sound great. Totally forgot.
|
| |
Giza Power Plant is the standout here as others have said.
They really excel at the whole "let's make whole sections feel like you are lost on Arrakis with the wind speaking the secrets of the universe in your ear as u look for water" thing.

That's funny because it just sounds like '90s worship to me. I mean that's probably why people love it
|
| |
This is 90's worship.
coloured sands sounds pretty modern, partly because of the production.
It's perhaps a little too skronky to be full 90's worship

Gyro we've established that you know very little about metal and how to actually grasp different sounds, like "90s style death metal" actually means anything of value when the 90s was a formative time for the genre in which every fucking band in every goddamn province of every fucking country had a unique style

This album takes influence from so many different bands and albums that you can pinpoint singular riffs on here that sound like they're from entirely different eras
|
| |
Yeah, there's Euro influence all over this. They aactually know how to use harmonies properly. So many American DM bands can't use them for shit.

'Perhaps, or maybe I just don't jizz on every metal album that gets praised on Sputnik just because it repurposes old-sounding metal with new elements.'
Hmm... well firstly this simply isn't true, not everyone is doing that - we are all individuals, some do, some don't. Secondly, taking old elements and repurposing them is essentially the backbone of every genre, the number of artists writing genuinely unique music in 2019 is absurdly small. That description of yours is supposed to be a negative, whereas I see little wrong with it. What would you rather, blatant plagiarism or misguided experimentalism? Being able to strike a balance between the two is always welcome. Death metal has evolved/is still evolving, just because you hear some of the same elements taken from a variety of past influences doesn't mean it's 90s nostalgia bias, or whatever.
Your biases are abundantly clear, you seem to have an agenda against a genre that you have relatively little experience with, by your own admission.
