This is currently my new favorite technical death metal album for 2022. I'm not sure that it will end the year in that spot but for now, I am thoroughly enjoying this, their 6th full-length album in 10 years. I started listening to them back in 2012 with their debut Liberation Through Hearing. While I haven't posted any of their material in between then and now I feel that they have remained fairly consistent over the years and have created their best work since their debut with The Masquerade.

So, I know of this band from their 2017 release and I really respect the people at Transcending Obscurity Records and their opinion and dedication to all forms of metal and death metal especially but I get the impression that they are trying to sell this release as one from a band who have left their "core" roots behind but that certainly isn't the case here. Just embrace the "core elements" because this is good!

Here is a disc that garnered a helluva lot of praise around here when it first dropped 6 years ago and rightfully so in my opinion. These guys created a heavy-ass disc with these 11 tracks but then they split up and disappeared from the scene. Well, I am bringing this back to the front of the house to provide a reminder of the potential they had.
