Release Year: 2023
Artist Origin: USA
Style: intense technical thrash death metal
after seventeen year hiatus, Californian extreme metal cult returns with a mind-blowing sixth studio opus, consciously abandoning previously explored somewhat more experimental direction as well as modern trends, focusing instead on what once made them legendary - hyperactive technical thrash/death metal hurricane, built upon a dense wall of guitars, chaos-controlled energy, sudden tempo shifts, and aggressive, constantly pulsating tension; although heavy sound has matured and become more controlled, genius musicians lose neither the destructive force nor a sense of complex structures, while Darren Travis’ voice together with merciless riffs maintains a dangerous pulse from the opening seconds of First Blood up to the final strike of title track, ensuring convincing and confident veteran return to the limelight of extreme music scene; first press black splattered red vinyl edition with printed lyric insert is limited to 2700 units
