Morbid Angel are the kings of Death Metal, and have been around long enough to know how to write a great album. This (their fourth album) is my favourite by far. Trey Azagthoths riffing and soloing (not forgetting Eric Rutans amazing solos too!) is just what my jaded ears needed to hear back when it was released in the mid nineties. Sandovals drumming is as precise as ever, and the incredible vocals by David Vincent are the best you will hear in Death Metal (this was also his swansong studio album with Morbid Angel unfortunately, although his replacement (Tucker) is still pretty solid as a frontman and vocallist). The songs range from slow, sludgey behemoths with strangulated riffing and low swampy guitars (Where the Slime Live) to Speedy, crushing belters that take your head off and leave your ears smoking if you get too close to the speakers (Dominate, Eyes to See..). They had it all on this album in my opinion, melodic and brutal parts right where you (subliminally!) want to hear them, and yet accessible enough for a person who's not usually into extreme music to listen to without turning it off after 5 seconds.Basically, If you're thinking of ever buying one Death metal album to check out what its all about... you could do a LOT worse than picking up this little gem.
