Album Notes & Community Reviews

Constructed as a clinic in dizzying brutal death metal extremity, 'Crown of Souls' showcases a fierce dedication to chaotic, technical instrumental complexity. The tracks heavily utilize rhythmic syncopation, uncommon time signatures, and overwhelmingly aggressive infernal themes. It reinforces the group's standing as highly influential pioneers of the Californian extreme metal sound.
