Album Notes & Community Reviews

Considered a high watermark for the British death metal outfit, their third full-length album strikes a potent balance between mid-tempo, grinding grooves and explosive thrash speed. The incredibly heavy, punchy production by Paul Johnston elevates the punishing riffwork, creating a relentless, textbook example of old-school European extremity.
