Full review
Argh. I bought this album on a whim, and fairly regret it.
I'd heard some death metal such as slayer and thought this might be of similar vein - how wrong I was. This entire cd is pretty much just growling and trempicking, which i find incredibly boring.
The cd opens with some trempicking interspaced with some samey groove sections, and this sets the feel of the album. Listening to it now, I can't say the vocals are awesome, as I can't really hear what he's saying. Indeed, the whole album has that "generic death metal" sound to it, which consists of lots of trempicking (fast picking), atonal solos and screaming.
At least in its favour this album isn't tremendously heavy - it is still fairly listen able, and im sure if your really into death metal they're probably passable. I just find them so monotonous, the trempicking is yawn worthy, and the attempts at a groove are nothing in comparison to bands like slayer and Pantera. They simply do not make me want to headbang.
Actually, the singing is so bad ill have to mention it again. I don't see the point in having lyrics at all when the vocalist growls them - at times it sounds like he's being sick. I like heavy singing and all, but this just seems fairly pointless. Don't get me started on the drumming - basically; each song has periods of fast double bass pedal followed/preceded by a slow 4/4 part where they try to groove. It's really boring. Its like Lars Ulrich in a death metal band.
All and all, id avoid unless you're seriously into death metal, and even then, its fairly mediocre.
