Okay, now this is my first review and its probably not going to be a great start on this site, as im probably going to get labeled as the annoying little scene kid who goes on to youtube and spams anyone who dosnt like the band with "OMG u n00b this band is br00tl BEST.BAND.EVER!!!!!!). Well im not so please bare in mind this is just my opinion and try not to be too harsh.
anyways, first things first, i enjoyed this album and feel the hype surronding this band is very well deserved. The vocals are spot on, and although they are a pretty over-produced, at times it work as an advantge. Guitar work is precise and very heavy. And the drumming is crushing and destructive. These are all key merits that build an impresive 2nd album. Also lyrics are disturbing (in a good way) and depict a dark and hate filled story.
Overall this album shows this bands talent, and what a talent it is. On almost every song, a sheer devotion and understanding of deathcore shines through and allows for an original and impressive package. The most standout tracks on the album have to be some of the best extreme metal tracks ive heard all year. These include "possesion", a synth filled melodic burst of rage that brings the entire whitechapel sound into one impressive track. "Somatically Incorrect" a gorey death metal riot that forces you to play it loud. And track that suprised me the most "to all that are dead", this song suprised me as i am not a big fan of breackdowns yet they seem to work on this.

unfortunatly no band is perfect and this album has some serious downfalls. for instance although the intrumentals are impressive they do at times feel a bit tacked on to increase the length of the album. Also a few of the songs, despite being fun at the time, arnt that memorable which is a real shame.

to finish this album is bar far an improvment on the bands debut and sheer sensation breaking through in the current extreme metal scene
