review by: Roberto Martinelli

This is one of the finest death metal albums I think I've ever heard. Ok, it's not dark, but the genius blend of technical wizardry and catchy song structures make it a gem.

Dying Fetus' style is heavily rooted in rhythm-based riffs, and has a bit of the same musical energy that Black music does (I'm not talking about metal, but rather hip-hop). The result is songs that make you want to stomp around a good deal of the time. That is, until the wicked blast beats kick in. Unbelievable. Kevin Talley is one of the top 5 drummers in death metal.

What makes the whole experience even more mind-blowing is the fabulous production. This new album makes Dying Fetus' last album, Killing on Adrenaline, look sick in comparison, greatly in part to the sound. Face it, Killing on Adrenaline's production left a lot of room for improvement.

The new album is a lot like the previous one, but features more of the totally whacked-out, spastically mind-blowing guitar riffs. Dying Fetus have taken their brand of guitar technicality to a new level. The more I listen to this album, the more I love it. No hesitation, get this.
