  Pete Brown

  It has been a while since I have listened to a full album of straight-up death metal, but this one sits squarely in that category.

  I can't say I enjoyed this album, but I feel like that is not the point of this genre. I'm all for the SATANSATANSATAN brand of black metal, but if I were to imagine what the in-store play music would be in hell, it would probably sound something like this.

  A common gripe one hears about death metal is that it all sounds the same—Cookie Monster vocals, blast beats, constant tremolo picking—but records like this one prove otherwise. It's not going to be for all tastes, but I would recommend it if you don't mind a harrowing listen.
