The result is not only astonishingly technical but it evokes emotions not common in death metal: I find a lot of their songs surprisingly bittersweet sounding for example. Oh and both the drummer and guitarist are not only very technically proficient but they are two of the most unique death metal musicians I've heard. Anyway, well worth a listen if you haven't heard them before.

I really liked some the tonal changes here but that snare sound is absolutely horrid and a biscuit (cookie) tin bashing snare sound has always been a bugbear of mine since I started listening to Metal. It just puts me off a band so much
I am sorry for putting a 'Deathcore' band in here (thats apparently what they are classed as - I cant keep up any more) but there is a lot about this band that I really like. Some decent riffing, dual vocal styles, changes of BPM and a bald guy with a beard on guitar
