A great debut album by this Grecian based band who in fact originated in 2010. This album has the elements of all which is good in an LP. It's solid death metal with a kick to it. Not too fast, not too slow but a good pick-me-up for when you want solid death metal. The vocals are deep and hoarse. They go along well with the music. The riffs are solid and fresh. Quite good! Definitely a good segue into the metal scene even though they've released an EP before making this album. So you kind of get a gist of them their music before the actual full-length album was released. And man, what a release!

I'd say that the riffs are far spectacular to those of which were previous recorded in the early EP. One thing that this bands has set aside that other death metal bands don't is on having their own sound. Sure they have their musical influences but that doesn't mean that they replicates own bands that are successful do and duplicate it. I think this debut sure was showing a lot of promise even before it but now they've driven in the metal community some great fresh new talent. Being Greek, they have their Philosophical influences but most of all their musical abilities and consistencies.

They've been around 11 years but they were just teenagers when they formed (at least most of them). They started with their sound young and that blended into their own. I think that the only thing that they lacked thereupon is their production/sound quality. But otherwise, this album is superb. I ordered my copy of since there were only a few that were out (1000 copies). I checked out this LP online and it blew me away. Definitely something to write home about if I were them. But they're adults now, they just needn't be in a shadow for their success.

Thanks for Andreas for reaching out to me and material that became a fast liking to in my death metal collection. This debut LP I definitely need to be in my possession. I urge you to buy up their material if you like death metal in the vein of Malevolent Creation and newer Deicide. But they have their own vibe. Try some of their songs and see what I'm talking about. It's a complete waste if you let this one go from your database. These guys are kick ass all the way!
