Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking the return of founding guitarist Paul Ryan and vocalist James Lee, the fourth album by the Kansas-based quintet is an unrelenting clinic in hyper-speed technical death metal. The band pushes tempo limits to absolute extremes, featuring incomprehensibly fast sweep-picking and John Longstreth's chaotic gravity blasts. It set a terrifyingly high benchmark for velocity and technical proficiency within the modern death metal scene.
