Diagnosis is almost a completely different album if you compare it to Victim No.52. The crew in De Lirium’s Order has used more thrash based guitar work and they have lowered the level of melody in this album. This makes Diagnosis to an ultra heavy and brutal death/thrash album with small hints of melodies. Deep guttural growls, technical and devastating guitars, an audible and grinding bass and finally a varied drum performance are the qualities in this album.
There are actually no flaws in this album, only the vocals might seem a bit one-dimensional. But overall, all the tracks has a character of their own and they are structured to maintain an intriguing atmosphere. The sound production is flawless since you can hear all the instruments, no instrument or vocal style interferes with each other. This is highly recommended for those who like brutal metal music. Death metal fans will enjoy this as much as thrash metal will do!
