Track 1. Consummate Horror- A rush of awesome quickly comes over your ears. Everything seems to just set into place, though the riffs seem violent. Actually I think it worked quite well with just flowing well into the song. the music has a very raw feel to it. Some of the riffs are a bit fuzzy but I really like what I hear. Vocal clarity is not so good, but I am digging the hell out of the roars and screaming. The melodies are quite delicious and rocking! Hard hitting an absolute head on collision of pain. Even though the sound quality is a bit fuzzy, I really liked what I heard here. The song even ended in a good fashion between the powerful drums and guitar riffs.
Track 2. From Oblivion- A dark assault with an aggressive pace, aims to yank your heart from your chest. The passionate vocals appear with their well heard cries. The music dies, and awakens in an instant delivering a sweet metal groove. I love the conveyance, the vocals echo quite well, and have a good enunciation, as do the guitar riffs. Killer guitar solo! The music turns into a train wreck, and then completely dies. Interesting.
Track 3. Burial Ritual- The track starts of slow with a trudging quality about it. It makes you feel as if somebody is about to walk over your grave. Loving this slow heavy groove, sounds quite evil. Those vocals are quite insane, thoroughly powerful. The timing changes a bit, introducing a groove that makes you just want to head bang and thrust your devils horns. The music speeds up more, if just for a moment getting you thoroughly excited. It goes back and forth a bit, in interesting fashion, delivering a delicious yet technical manner of thrash metal upon you. There is some thoroughly talented and creative music being played here. The music finally ends upon the fading out solo of the echoing lead guitar, nice!
Track 4. Massgrave- A fine tuned mixture begins this. Your treated to thoroughly not so divine elements. The music quickens to a pace that would quickly snap your neck like a fucking twig. You can say one thing they transition fairly well, and easily, from fast to slow and slow to fast, an odd piece, but interesting piece of music. Short delicious and heavy as fuck. Really liking the back and forth enunciation between guitar and vocals here too, there's a catchy quality there though just in the slightest. Dammit that guitarist can fucking shred. And again a track just suddenly dies, perfectly ending this short album. It's been an interesting review, very few things did I not like. More vocal clarity would have been nice, but the passion and conveyance, as well as the intelligent vocal enunciation that matched up well with the guitar riffs made up for that. The music is a fine tuned aggressive piece from start to finish. They can play fast, slow and everything in between all way keeping your attention. It's decent yet, fun, crazy and dark music. Subtle sound quality issues, but very little. Good music in most places that I could hear. Overall excellent album opening and closing too. Really liked the time changes, they had me thoroughly hooked and interested. Rating 8/10
