Album Notes & Community Reviews

A foundational document of the New York brutal death metal scene alongside Suffocation's early works, this debut focuses intensely on crushing, mid-tempo groove. The emphasis on heavy, palm-muted breakdowns over relentless speed established the critical blueprint for the subsequent development of the slam death metal subgenre.

Descriptors: rhythmic, death, antireligious, uncommon-time-signatures, brutal
