Description/Reviews: 

The quintet employ a combination of progressive, technical and melodic sounds and styles in this album that really is intriguing, even if you might not be a death metal fan. In some ways, this reminds me of a more modern version of Death; a rather lofty comparison, I know, but I promise you, it’s a very apt one as well. It has that complexity and brutality along with the melodic structures of an album like Symbolic; the main difference being the lack of Chuck Schuldiner, which is hardly surprising. However, it doesn’t take the genius of Schuldiner to make an excellent death metal album.
