These bruisers are back with more hardcore grit to their attack. The vocals come across as being less growled and more of a burly command. The grooves are as dense as you might want them. There is almost a sludge weight. The aggression is not a full-speed-ahead charge but a massive grind of distraction chugged with malicious intent. Things are more melodic on "Enthroned in Violence," which brings the Melvins to mind a little. "Fucked Inside Out" finds the brutality moving more smoothly than expected.
Sure, "Deepest Hell" moves in a rapid-fire, punishing manner that reminds me more of their older work; the growth they showed me on the first four songs spoiled me and raised my expectations."Saturnus Reigns" is more hammering but slowed down enough to take it all in. It continues to groove like a sludged-out version of hardcore.
"Prowler Twin Sister" chugs with headbanging authority, but things continue to move in the same direction. The vocals are more barked in some places. I knew they were going to do a cover of Ethel Cain's "Family Tree." The original is more of an atmospheric intro that she does sing over, and the lyrics are pretty muh the only thing that is the same. Not sure where the inspiration for that riff even came from. 'Vulture Worship' sounds cool, but is more of an interlude. Things slow down to a more ominous sludge mood on the last song. I will give this one a 9 andd see how it grows on me it is a excellent return to form, while still showing growth andd heavy as all hell.
