This one, I have to disagree with... 7 years after the great Organized Chaos, this is what we get? I felt this one is as generic as it gets. I get bored to death (no pun intended) after a few songs while Organized Chaos was in the same vein, yes... but it had a little something more than Killing Music is missing.

To end on a positive note, the production on this one is much, much better than on the previous album. Production is where Organized Chaos failed, for me.

I liked it. It's nothing special but a quality death metal album. But I haven't heard the earlier releases so I can't say much.

Quality is there, that's certain. It's a good old-school death metal album. But as the underground band that released the awesome nearly-classic Transcend the Rubicon and the great Grind Bastard, Killing Music feels a bit lacking. But good for Malevolent Creation fans and stuff like that.

In any case, the band features Dave Hunt (Anaal Nathrakh) so it can't be all bad, can it? :dio:

Never heard their other albums but this album was pretty shallow. There was nothing that caught my interest during the first listen and following listens didn't add much to the experience. Seeing Through My Eyes was my favorite track from it though, something about the simplicity caught my attention.

I've only ever heard the first Benediction album, Subconcious Terror, and it was ok, didn't really do much for me. But this sounds pretty good and I will check it out.
