after a sudden departure of Dave Ingram and few years spent in hiding, Britain's premier relentless death metal beast strikes back [2001] hungry and willing to attack: the hot frontman position was entrusted to Anaal Nathrakh singer Dave Hunt, raising quite a few eyebrows up, yet he does his best to fill in the big shoes left off, and regardless that some attempts may sound a bit too forced, he certainly brings some fresh energy in with trademark powerful, intense, aggressive manners, while the rest of the team add up in terms of intricate structuring, overall complexity and infernal atmosphere, once again setting exceptionally soothing vibe, topped by apt Andy Sneap's production and precise Kristian Wåhlin's artwork; limited British gatefold sleeve double white-splattered blue vinyl edition
