Absolutely grueling material! I love the vocal trade-offs, too. The music is absolutely amazing. The guitars and vocals are the pinnacle of this album release. These guys really tear it up in the riff department. Leads as well. Absolutely everything fit on this release. The music, vocals, production and drums. They did themselves a favor and laid out some unrelenting death metal.

Tempos all over the place, but appropriately. Both the screaming and low bellow vocals make it more versatile. The music and the vocals are in the same time and flow really well. They're masterminds working on here. I hope for more albums to come. But yeah, we can enjoy them for now especially with releases like this. I liked it right away. The music was the first thing that blew me away! The vocals are tolerable, too! But the fact that they could do it all with this release is fantastic. No Exhumed record that I liked than this one. It has me hooked, totally! There wasn't a dull moment on the songs.

Each track is about 3-4 minutes in length. It's enough, though I hoped that the release was longer. There are bonus tracks but the main release is where it's at. Most of the tracks you have screaming and some pretty bad-ass riffing alongside the vocals. The guitars rip the rhythms are doing a lot of tremolo picking as well as some technical leads. The trade-offs on the leads are phenomenal. There is some blast beating here, but a lot of the music is melodic so they're versatile here. The songs are in your face brutality. They are just flat out heavy and brutal. But the music is varying as well.

It's hard to name one track since all of them (to me) are phenomenal. And yeah, melodic guitar too. Melodic leads as well. It isn't all the time brutal, but most of the time, it is. I'd say if you're a lover of death metal or the guitar or both this would fit your protocol. Nothing on here misses, it's a glory of sheer brutal death metal. No matter what track you listen to here, they're all good so take that into account. The whole album is about 40 minutes long. And yeah, it is worth getting to support the scene and the band. Exhumed is some killer death metal and this is my favorite of theirs by far! OWN IT!!
