I really liked this disc when it first came out back in 2012. It is heavy and dark and the only knock I have on this is the programmed drums but they don't sound bad. This was also one of the first Costa Rican bands that I was aware of. My own CD rip + scans \m/\m/

This band has been around since 1998 and was very active in the early to mid-2000s with several releases over that span with my favorite being Vorex Deconstruccion. The band has slowed down a bit with studio releases in recent years but this new album is one of their best for my tastes. The title track was released as a single in 2019 and then again on a split in 2022, and the video is from 2020, so it seems they really want to promote this track.

Back in 2020, I was excited about the release of their Diagrams of Consciousness album, so I pre-ordered it on Bandcamp but when it came out it didn't grab me as tightly as I thought it would. However, this release is different, it is highly engaging and keeps my interest from start to finish.

Here is another band that is new to me that I am kinda digging on at the moment. Their style has a modern take on melodic death metal but the songs still have a bit of a classic feel if that makes any sense. Whatever, I like it.

This band has been around crafting melodic death metal since 1995 and they have 6 full-length releases to their credit but this is my first exposure to them so I had to search out more of their back catalog and the 2018 & 2022 albums are good too.

This album is good but it fell into the December black hole for me at the end of last year and I missed it until well into 2023, even though I think I remember CarlG promoting it around here. I'm glad that I finally took the time to listen because I like this quite a bit.
