Album Review

Reviewed 2010-05-13
Killer local (SF/Oakland) Death Metal/Crust attack with members of Saros, Acephalix & Infest. Big, trudging & riffy. Vocally, it’s an acquired taste-Daniel Butler has some real character to his phrasing & he can let out a good death scream but it's not easy the first few times around. The guitars & low end work really well. The songs are all "nothing too little or too much" and near perfection. Why the fuck they’re “too hardcore” for metal-archives is beyond belief but there’s more infos here:

Recommended for sure & a really good first effort. They played their first show in March as if they had been playing for years. Somewhere in the realm of Deviated Instinct, Grave, Hellhammer/(early) Celtic Frost & Dishammer.

((((((1)))))) Bassy, bursts right out thing roaring vocals and mid-paced crust meets Swedish Death Metal feeling.
((((((((2))))))) Variation on Celtic Frost’s “Dethroned Emperor” riff by way of Grave? Mid-paced & straight forward. Wild solos & and some steady drumming.
((((((((3))))))))) Super catchy riffs & drum fills and expressive yet hellish vocals.
