i've heard lots of great stuff about these guys. interested in hearing this. from the myspace samples i like how they use their hardcore side to add variety to their sound.

I loved every second of this album from the amazing into to the rap breakdown. Death metal with new ideas, that's what we need.


Why are you so brutal to me?

EEAEEEAAAAAAAARROOOOOOOOOORRRRRRR

:dio: :dio: :dio: :dio: :dio:

I love it. Best into ever.

This album was so unpredictable. That rapping part in Grind Wit just threw me off, but in a good way. Oh, and I love the fact that you can hear their fucking bass player.

Gets a solid 90 from me.

Been listening to this the past couple of days and it rules. Saw it all is such an awesome. I don't know how it didn't make the killing songs list.

I was also throw off by the rap breakdown. Still not sure what I think of it.

If you haven't listened to this, or any other Benighted CD, go do so now. They're amazing, dude. Totally brutal, off the wall, and intense.

Definitely get this album, and Identisick.

Just now heard this and wow it's badass. Didn't enjoy the rapping though. It caught me off guard but I don't think that was in a good way. I wish brutal death metal was always this exciting. I feel like it's one of those genre that can be bland most of the time.

Yeah dude totally. Like I said we need more death metal like this, with fresh ideas and stuff.


I somehow also said into twice in my first post in this thread, meaning intro, obviously.
