Swedish death metal worship from Italy. Now usually I don’t like to put “sounds like …” type statements in reviews but in the case of a band purposely trying to emulate a style that has been created and honed by other bands for over ten years then its unavoidable. Think Indecent and Obscene era Dismember or early Entombed only not as good and you won’t be far off the mark. The clicky kick drums, over-distorted production and fat guitar sound with all the middle stripped out is faithfully reproduced and as such is good. Unfortunately, the same quality of heavy riffs and melodic leads is not, leaving this record fairly unremarkable.
