I was impressed with their first album, Svartalvheim, on Listenable, but The Canian Cronicle is truly above any standard set by Ancient, and maybe black metal.
The guitar and drums are so heavy, mean, tuned-low, and brutal, that one will have no trouble recognizing this as an uncompromising death metal release.
Heartwork makes Swansong look like a limp dick. Carcass chose not to further their technical abilities, but to rehash every Maiden and Priest riff available.
