"Try to remember the last time you heard a death metal album so perfect! One where you can't bear the 1 or 2 seconds pause between tracks for the next song to start up, That eagerness to hear just how much better the next song is than the last. Then fathom that for 9 songs!!! This band is from SWEDEN and of course their style is very much like the sounds from around 88'- 90' era. Those with a somewhat esoteric knowledge of bands from SWEDEN at that time may recall the bands GROTESQUE and TREBLINKA/TIAMAT. Two of the most monumental bands from that period. This album is one that even those bands in their prime could only dream of having done. Every great element of death metal is on display here. Explosive production that captures all the nuances of what's going on.
Bear in mind also that this is no pretentious retro band or whatnot. All these songs sound completely fresh and tower over virtually every other thing that's been heard in ages. /"
