This album shreds!

"This album is great w/out a doubt! If you like old school death metal w/ a touch of maturity & flawless production, then this album is for you! I've only heard bits & pieces of Severe Torture's other works, but they don't compare to this album especially in it's production & sound. Don't be afraid to give this album a try!"

Not bad, but not as good as previous albums

"The first thing I notice on this new Severe Torture album are the Pestilence-like vocals. Production is improved compared to Misanthropic Carnage, however, the album just doesnt feel the same. In fact, it seems like Severe Torture went from a brutal death metal band (ie Devourment, Internal Suffering, Deeds of Flesh), to your standard death metal band (Morbid Angel, Pestilence, etc...). What this means is that they've kinda slowed down and there arent as many blast beats coupled with those deep deep vocals. Bands progress and change or refine their sound, but Id much rather Severe Torture stayed with the same formula as previously used."
