Brooklyn-based ANTI-SAPIEN drops some filthy, crusty, death metal that carries the aggression of Deicide in its angry churn forward. They are capable of shredding when it is called for, but prefer staying locked into the locomotive charge that drives the opening song. "Eater of Ghosta' blasts into the kind of hyper aggression that Nails blurs the genre lines with. When they slow down and lock into a chug, the results are powerful. The guitar solos are oddly forward in the mix and feel like overdubs.
"D.E.A.D" carries a fun, moshy stomp before blasting off. The vocals shift to a more hardcore shout at times. They also slow down and make the guitar solo more melodic here. There is more of a Morbid Angel feel to the title track. It does begin to rumble in the background as the song progresses, and it creates a more uniform sonic blur. In fact, the next thing I know, they are already in "Grinding the System." The guitar solos are more traditional.
The last song buzzes to life with predictable vigor but also tension in the guitar melody before it collides into a storm of riffs. The vocals sound more like angry grunting. Overall, I appreciate the energy of what they are doing here, even if the momentum builds to the point of almost running away with songs at times, I will give this a 9. Being released by Terminus Hate City.
