Cover Art by Terminal Descent


This is another offering from this band that has an eerie sound (really raw sounding guitars) with brutal elements like the vocals and melodies and interesting arrangements. It is weird to listen to this band music because of the strange sound that the guitars have, specially when combined with slow drumming that gives a feeling of primitive doom that one is not expecting in the fastest parts that are closer to death metal. The sound of the recording is extremely raw and primitive and gives us the sensation of being listening to a live recording (specially because there are not overdubs and there is only one guitar doing all the arrengements all the time). One fundamental element here are the climatic parts like the beginning of "The Prophets Profit" which I think the band should use even more

Favorite tracks: "The Illusion Barrier", "Taming of Beasts" and "The prophets Profit"
