Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Finnish ensemble's debut album captures them firmly entrenched within the murky, guttural bounds of early 90s death metal. While hints of their impending melodic brilliance occasionally surface, the record primarily relies on crushing, mid-tempo riffs and raw aggression, firmly placing it within the classic Finnish extreme metal canon.
