Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging as pioneers of the Italian extreme metal scene, the Genoese quartet's debut album is a complex, forward-thinking slab of technical death metal. Characterized by prominent, atmospheric keyboards that often trade leads with the intricate guitar work, the record introduced a distinctly progressive and neoclassical sensibility to the genre.
