A roar. Hyperspeed drumming. Lightning leads. Then the Entombed-esque chop and slash attack comes in with a dramatic burst of speed to break up the chugging.
Dark Tranquility, Katatonia, Dissection, and In Flames will have you spinning this disc religiously. The production and packaging alone make this essential.
heir songs tend to flow from somber, funereal dirges, to hyperfast blasts of rage. Progressive death metal without long and boring songs. Sad yet powerful.
