"Broken Hope really push the limits with this masterpiece. If you thought the previous album Loathing was technical, wait til you hear this one. Brian Griffin and Jeremy Wagner are GODS. Broken Hope on this album makes other technical Deathmetal bands sound like puff daddy. I am still baffled why the band split up after this album. Technical Deathmetal has experienced such a tremendous resurgence over the last few years and I think Broken Hope need to reform and show all these new guys what it's all about. Suffocation is probably the only other Brutal technical band that matches up to Broken Hope. Grotesque Blessings is definitely the peak of the bands' musical output. I hear that they actually recorded another album after this one but they broke up and the album never got released. What a shame. email Jeremy and Brian and tell them to reform the band!!!!!!

"A creative, technical and a feast for the ears, Broken Hope deals it's cards out in a more technical approach, while still retaining the sick lyrics of the early years. Different bassists throughout the CD, if you care. Production: i hope you like the words MID-RANGE."
Dellicious!!!

It never stops in my stereo, the quality of musicianship here is incredible. The technicality is the order of the day man!!! You can't go wrong with this. If you like Suffocation, Cryptopsy or Deeds of Flesh, then take this, you thanks me later!!!"
