Despise the Sun

Serving as the band's final release before their extended early-2000s hiatus, this brutally fast EP pushed their pioneering technical death metal sound to its absolute limit. With immensely crisp production and the addition of guitarist Doug Cerrito, the quintet delivered incredibly complex, labyrinthine riffing layered over hyper-speed blast beats. It stands as a flawless, abbreviated masterclass in extreme metal extremity.
