Although a rather vague portrayal, there are a number of truths within this esoteric claim. Melody as well as song structure precede all other aspect within their music, establishing a sense of complexity without the thin veneer of technical wankery. The guitar further works as an exemplar as to how to suitably keep a listeners interest, providing a barrage of remarkable riffs sure to retain a lasting replay value. Though seemingly unrecognized among elder death metal legionaries, Gory blister have been in existence for far longer than their superb production would have you believe. In any case, they are certainly an anomaly amidst the derivative masses of archaic bands attempting to remain relevant within the contemporary death metal panorama.

The addition of keys only improves the albums progressive appeal, seemingly remaining within the milieu of the bands most impressive moments. Their transitions, however, seem unnaturally forced, which may be the potential product of stale guitar work; although thoroughly technical, the abundance of derivative riffs encumber the albums overall resonance. The record remains one of interest none the less, enough so to incite tech-death enthusiast to further investigate upon Aeon or Horus's debut release.
