I have been revisiting, Gorod’s Leading Vision, and it and this seem very similar

Great album but kinda gets old after a while. I’m returning to the new Napalm Death more often. Gotta say though I could barely listen to that Decrepit Birth album because it was too noodly and forgettable: the guy plays a lead over almost every riff! Necrophagist is way more catchy.

16, Blut Aus Nord, Samael, Obscura. Man, this year’s starting off really well…

Great review, Erik. ‘Unquestionable Presence of Symbolic Human Focus Diminishing Between Worlds’. Best description I’ve read, by far.

Superb album!! Technicality with emotion and great writing. Wow. Sounds like a fretless bass to me.

Definitely worth every once of hype. Phenomenal release. I liked Decrepit Birth’s last album ALOT, but this is definitely one of the best tech death releases in a long time. Blows bands like Necrophagist and Odius Mortem out of the fucking water. There are actual real songs to be heard here, not just a bunch of crazy parts. I can only imagine what this band will have in store next time around.

I think the use of vocoder is a highlight on this album, along with the incredible bass work. Both are used tastefully and intelligently.

Definitely my AOTY so far, and in lieu of a new album from Cynic, Atheist, or Spiral Architect this year, it will be nearly impossible to knock it from this spot.

Unquestionable Presence of Symbolic Human Focus Diminishing Between Worlds’. – Almost exactly how I’d describe it. Great review Erik.

This album rules my fucking face!
