A punishingly addictive death metal album that reestablishes Brujeria’s mixture of Fear Factory rhythms, Terrorizer riffing, and Spanish Satanic ramblings.
Heavy God Lives Underwater mixed with that whisper-to-a-scream thing every hack-ass nĂĽ metal band is doing now. Luckily, Chris Lino has a soulful voice.
Look at ‘m as a less bombastic Creed. Real pro playing, mixing, production, the big vocal treatment with that aggravating post-Vedder “sensitive manliness.”
If you peel away the layers of sexuality, debauchery, love, loss, and carnage of both Carnivore and Type O, you’ll see an under-current of classic rock.
A repetitious, sleepy, confused, weakly-produced record that’s too electronica and hip-hop. Plus the grooves are gone, and there are fewer hooks. Disappointing.
