Truly excellent melodic death. Why is this so good, in comparison to so many others in the same field? Simple. The level of anger. Yep, it's melodic, but fuck me it's also furious at the same time. Blisteringly fast in places too, these guys come at you like a swarm of hornets, and they sting as well. Vocally we have the standard hoarse blackened rasp, but it's the music itself that really stands out. A very promising new band indeed.
