Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third studio album by the Roman quartet is an unrelenting barrage of blast beats and hyper-fast, blackened tremolo riffing. Showcasing pristine, massive production that highlights their incredibly tight technical proficiency and fierce anti-religious lyricism, the record propelled them to the absolute vanguard of the Italian brutal death metal scene. It is widely heralded as a modern classic of high-speed extremity.
