This could easily have been so mediocre and thankfully is not. Driven, of course, by Gene Hoglan's relentless assault on the drum kit and backed up by an assembly line of pseudo-industrial riffs there's more than enough here to please just about any fan. The vocals are a surprising highlight, never mastering any single delivery but adept in a variety, they really help in avoiding the overfamiliarity that kills many modern bids at death metal.
