. The vocals are typically in a lower, guttural, almost gurgle, that paints them into the singular, focused aggression death metal is known for. Later in the album, as it becomes apparent that there are effects on them, they feel like they are at peak form. Production-wise, this album si very organic and raw. The vocals sit under the guitar, but the mix lends itself to making room for the bass. The riffs take on the more machine-like grinding sound that Morbid Angel made famous on " Dog Hunter". The gutiar is more deliberate here than most of the songs so far. Though when they go into blasting, it feels like an easy default. A clean strum of guitar leads into " Of God's Neglect"., this contrast helps them to find a darker place to go into. When they lean into this sonic heaviness, I think it's clear that it's heavier than metal blasting. This song is followed by an almost grindcore-like spasm of riffs that is not crafted as well as "Of God's Neglect".
They see-saw back into creepier, more deliberate moods as the album prgresses that are much more intersting. Even when the drummer lays the double bass on thick, they stay the course for the duration of the passage, as they are going to, of course, speed up at some point. They wrestle against their need for speed on "Reversed Head Renewal". They reach a better balance on the title track that closes the album and keep the blast to dynamic bursts in a more call and response manner., I will give this album a 9, as it works well sonically and is more interesting than most.
