This Greek band has made an extreme album and uses different styles. The base is death metal and you hear influences of Death, Morbid Angel, Behemoth and in the slower parts even a bit Asphyx. Sharp guitar riffs, some electronic sounds, nice keyboard lines and impressive grunts all can be heard in the songs.

The album has a clear and open production and all the instruments get enough room. The songs have interesting rhythms and vary just enough, so that you don't get bored and the album becomes average. The album needs a few spins to figure out and to value it for what it is worth. If you like adventurous death metal you will certainly have to check this one out. A band with one of the better grunters in the genre.
