Everyone and they're grandmother already talks about how much of a defining landmark this is in the death metal genre, so I won't. Instead, I just want to talk about something I miss from older bands that I don't hear as often in modern death metal; that classic thrash sound. You could chalk that up to the genre evolving as all genres do, but damn it, I really love '80s thrash metal. This is essentially a Slayer album with more growly vocals. And these guys are ****ing great at that style. And I love it. A DM masterpiece for sure.
