Damn! I'm not too well-versed in brutal death or grindcore, but this is awesome!

This is hands down the best album from this French monolith of brutality since their amazing Asylum Cave!
While the three previous albums have not been complete letdowns either, I just can't put away my happy grin while seeing them on the back of 'their wave' again. Thank you Julien & co.!!!

Although I don't think it's on the same level of quality as Identisick, Icon, and maybe Asylum Cave it's still a pretty solid release all-round. Still one of the better brutal death acts around atm I'd say.

You dropped Benighted best releases with Carnivore Sublime missing and since then, it's going downhill. I was not excited to have this spin early seeing it will be another average ball.

Let me give it a spin and see.

Very average release.

As expected, nothing was going in Benighted's way. Songs looks expeditiously forced, bland and out of touch. It was tiresome halfway through from the monotonous structure.

While there is no dearth of heaviness and technical proficiency for them the songwriting felt like it lacked imagination.
