Abysmal Torment - Cultivate The Apostate

This album rules. Wow. Massive sound. Power, technicality, brutality, and surpri8sing interesting riffs. A multitude of creative technical brutal death metal.

This band has been with me for a very long time. One of, if not the first, brutal bands I discovered. I'm thrilled to hear their new stuff, although somewhat upset with their departure from the grimey, gurgly vocals on all of their previous albums. The instrumental is amazing as it always has been, probably better than their past efforts actually... But if they're going to continue in this direction vocally, I'll be mildly upset D:

I find it interesting that they employ two vocalists both recording and live.

Unfortunately I didn't find anything interesting about this. It lacks the brutality of their previous release and the technicality has been scaled back too much. It's too straightforward and as a result fairly boring. Sounds too much like Origin trying to sound like Aborted trying to sound like Cannibal Corpse.

Not able to check the whole thing now but a couple of tracks I've listened to are very cool.
