4.0 excellent | hadriel | September 17th 16 | Grossmann once again proves that he's not only got super chops on the drums, but also possesses a
great knack for writing, composing and producing. Another fantastic outing of prog/tech death.
Never even used to be a fan of this genre until I started listening to Obscura and now I can't get
enough of everything that all the guys from that camp keep pumping out. Everything about this
release just shreds.

4.0 excellent | KillerOfBeers | June 11th 18 | Not overly technical, not overly progressive, just the right amount of both on this excellent death metal album.

3.5 great | cjbizzlebizzle | December 29th 16 | Hannes Grossmann has been spreading his fingerprints throughout the Techincal Death Metal scene in the most impressive of ways. While this release is not quite as impressive as Alkaloid's Malkuth Grimoire, it comes close. Grossmann once again shows his prowess being one of a select handful that can provide the most technical of metal arrangements while writing coherent songs in many forms. The first two tracks show this very well with the blistering opener followed by a more down-tempo, chugging track in "Silence Speaks". Both tracks are full of impressive instrumental layering and obvious technical prowess all around. If anything, Hannes has strayed a bit too close to safe here with verse-chorus-verse style songs and the album drags on just a bit towards the end. That and the constancy of the vocal style lend to the drag. All in all, Mr. Grossmann has one of the most impressive discographies in the business and has absolutely knocked it out of the park from 2004 to the present.
