I can see why some people may not like this album, and it's because of Mike DiSalvo's vocals. I've noticed that you either love or hate DiSalvo's style of vocals, and I personally love it. True, he isn't Lord Worm, but I think that's what makes it all the more interesting to listen to. DiSalvo's got a hardcore edge to him, and you can decipher what he's saying a lot better, while still being awesome. I like that.
Anyway, this album contains some solid songs from start to finish. I'd suggest bringing some extra boxers for when you're done listening to this, because it is quite brutal. Flo's drumming is inhumanly fast, giving the songs their basis of brutal-ness. Unlike a lot of death metal bands, they've got some interesting bass going on, which I sometimes find myself paying the most attention too, but then again, every member of this band knows how to play their instruments extremely well, so you can't get too bored of listening to one thing. Same thing goes for the guitar. Heavy and fast, the riffs are interesting and always changing. I also really like their solos. If you've ever seen Cryptopsy live, it's a spectacle to watch them do leads or just anything in general. |
