In my opinion, this is a very underrated release for 2022, or at least I haven't heard anyone other than myself, a few months back, before it was released talking about this disc and that is a shame. Sublation is 2/3 of the band Fisthammer who released 2 very good albums 8-10 years ago. If you are into the technical side of things then be sure to check out both bands \m/\m/

I had forgotten about this band because they hadn't released anything in more than a decade and they only had one EP, to begin with, but these 5 new tracks show that they weren't just resting on their laurels. They have progressed quite nicely and added a more competent technicality to their brutality.
