This band is straight Death Metal to the bone; "Apocalypse Unsealed" is direct and tightened Metal just as the Old School Death was. The music in this album is great, it's structured with brutality and catchiness at the same time, the double-bass pedal never stops pounding and the guitars are always screaming awesome riffs, a great release by a really good band.

The album starts with a harsh intro, then the violence unleashes and then with the self titled track everything suits perfectly well, the brutal bass-lines, the awesome drum beats, the catchy guitar riffs, even the backing vocals are good, and finally the small guitar leads, every song after that one is powerful and really amazing as well. This bullet goes right through your forehead without even noticing it, you won't feel the hit I promise; this music goes in rapid paces, there are just a couple of melodies to settle down for some minutes and then the massacre starts over again, so as you might see, this is wicked stuff indeed.

I have no complains about this album, the music flows perfectly well through the speakers and then to your head; I wish there would be more guitar solos in "Apocalypse Unsealed" though, sometimes it's actually not needed, but this time the music was so good that demanded polished scales and crazy ascending leads, don't get me wrong, the album is really good as it is, but the music can get better and even offer better things with complex solos or irregular beats that's all, even the production is clean as water so no harm done truly.

This release will be perfect for your Death Metal collection, there aren't many bands that can actually play like this nowadays, it actually sounds like the old days mixed with a lot of brutality and aggressiveness; "Apocalypse Unsealed" will impress more than one for sure.
