Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran English death metal pioneers return with a fiercely aggressive and unpolished slab of old-school extremity. 'Ravage of Empires' is a highly rhythmic and dense auditory assault, drawing heavily from the breakneck pacing of traditional thrash metal. The band maintains an ominous, death-obsessed lyrical focus, resulting in an incredibly energetic and heavy recording.
