Sadistic metal... there's no way other way to describe the music here... there's progressive, there's death, there's thrash, there's keyboards... there's lots of atmosphere and numerous lyrical moments... and there's another pretty strong album cooked by these always-reliant veterans.

similar to the previous offering; progressive power/thrash with atmospheric gothic digressions... nothing to do with the earlier, much better Sacrosanct recordings

They're very well deserved, for sure.

a pretty decent comeback for one of the unsung heroes of the US 90's progressive metal underground... decidedly more modern-sounding than their very cool debut "Shallow Reflections" from the distant 1993, with longer more complex compositions and less prone to faster-paced thrashy trips. The vocalist is the same, a clean assured emotional timbre who may be considered the highlight.

Новый альбом выйдет через неделю, "Sounds of the Forgotten"

треклист почти одинаковый... небольшая разница

the expected classic technical thrash riff-fest... quite similar to the first showing. Such a pity these guys so seldom release something

brilliant dissonant albeit not very accessible stuff... progressive/technical death with a lot of surreal offbeat moments; not for everyone but should satisfy the original music lovers

компиляция? Думаю что это новый материал...

упс, да... написали на бандкампе что это "а reworking of older material"

a compilation of the band's EP's, with just a few new tunes, including the 27-min opening opus, which is truly a masterpiece of mazey progressive thrash, probably the band's highest achievement

an excellent mixture of epic and traditional doom; dark macabre music with very good semi-stoned clean vocals, think more sober and less protracted Ozzy; plus a few death metal-ish growls inserted

Necrophthysis “Diminution of Flesh”
Plague Rider “Intensities”
Xoth "Exogalactic"
Blood Oath “Lost in an Eternal Silence”
Fabricant “Drudge to the Thicket”
StaliNO "Seven Voices"
Sarcovore "The Calling"
Contrarian "Sage of Shekhinah"
Abysmal Disarray “Expulsion of Humanity”
Subconscious Terror “Chaotic Diffusion”

diverse progressive death metal with a lot of twists and turns, melody versus brutality the entire time, with nice lead sections and a few surreal touches

a pleasant underground surprise; classic prog-thrash which nicely reminds of other similar heroes from the Canadian scene (Dyoxen, Obliveon, MAD, early Varga). Death metal vocals circle around complex compositions and heavy tight riff-patterns; not too many speedy decisions, though

Sadly, this new opus is a banal tedious tribute to the groovy 90's; save for the first two tracks the rest is boring thick grooves and other unexciting gimmicks, at times sounding like poor man's Pantera and Machine Head

This is even better than their first demo ("The Dream Becomes Obscure", 1991). Excellent classic technical/progressive thrash with echoes of Deathrow and Coroner; dramatic, mostly mid-paced stuff with great puzzling riffs and unexpected dramatic developments

Wow, another bunch of obscure veterans is back... their only so far album "Open Fire" (1991) was a pretty decent mix of power, progressive and thrash, a cool addition to the prog-thrash wave that was roaming the Canadian underground in the late-80's/early-90's

The last three tracks are old, remastered from the "Anthropophagi" demo (1994). The new material is solid retro technical thrash/death, decidedly better than their comeback effort from 14 years ago. Melodic, complex, and brutal... and great. A very nice surprise for sure.

A dynamic eventful album which often violates the laws of melo-death with less regular, more twisted decisions. First-rate lead guitar work and longer progressive-shaped compositions also elevate this effort to higher parametres. There's quite a bit of music thrown here

Possesses some of those mythical Demilich-esque qualities, but is more straight-forward and generally faster, with frequent blast-beating passages intercepting the technical developments

Wow, this is absolutely grand... progressive power metal with a strong sniff of doom, way better than the debut. The only drawbacks are the sloppy vocals, this is the band's older singer in action, not Roy Khan; and the muddy sound quality. This shows that the guys were fairly accomplished musicians at this very early stage of their career.

decidedly better than "Demon Master", but thousands of miles away from the grand "The Sane Asylum". Classic progressive power with just shades of thrash, it has its interesting moments, but it's not really the band at their best
