As with many people I've kind of ignored Spiritual Healing for the longest, and this is bull****. It's actually a pretty unique album in death metal, as there are very few bands creative enough to evolve from primitive, ugly, 80s death metal to full on tech/prog death metal, so you also don't have very many albums so successfully transitioning from one to the other. Spiritual Healing has much of the accessible brutality of Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy, but is mature, accomplished, and slick in a way that isn't boring or sterile. Kinda reminds me of Heartwork tbh, but with less groove and speed, and more of some of the sickest lead guitar on Earth. By the end of the week I'm fully expecting to be a Death fanatic.
