Having been very impressed with the debut album "The Somatic Defilement" with its vast technical skill and sheer brute force,This second release is a masterclass in modern death metal.
Whitechapel may have been branded with the "Metalcore" tag, but in my opinion they are more overtly death metal than most of the current american scene.
Riding in on ferocious death metal growl the album is bursting with savage blast beats, scorching riffs,mesmerising demonic vocals and the most brutal beatdowns ever.The intensity of the album never lets up.
It is the aural eqiuvalent of being pistol whipped within an inch of your life.
