Style: brutal technical straightforward death metal
this double disk, released as a maxi box with green tray, features the return of longtime Canadian masters of hyperblast, known for their furious and unrelenting brutality, to straightforward and earth-shattering death metal, where technical mastery is precisely fused with a fierce emotional charge: the fourth full-length [2000] proves that technical qualities of the band outdo most of the contemporary rivals with ease, following a pernicious foretold history of mankind's collapse, predicted ages ago, strengthened by menacing approach both in intricate guitar work and doomy growl of Maurizio Iacono, who effectively takes over vocal duties, while its intense follow-up nine-tracker [2001] features abnormally fast drumming, grinding guitar riffs with a noticeable melodic influence and catchy approach, backed up by wild vocal delivery, varying from scream to growl all the way through
