I've been a reviewer for 3 years now and I've never received an album like this one before, an album that I seriously can't explain its genre, an album so versatile that could fall in Metalcore, Punk, Thrash, Heavy, Hardcore and many other genres that are floating in my head right now. For this fact only this is a worthwhile album, but let me explain a little more about this CD.

The whole album is one freaky structure indeed; there are bizarre experimentations all over the place creating organized chaos in every tune wrapping this record. For this matter the songwriting sounds complex as only hell can be, you can even say that there's no regular pattern in "Along The Celestial Ruins" whatsoever, but then the arrangements break the scheme and add melodies and some orthodox riffs here and there.

I loved this album from the beginning to the very end, and I'm sure there are many dudes out there looking for stuff like this. But this album's core is so avant-garde that many people won't even understand what's happening during the entire length and that's not very good at all?one thing is for sure, I can see people all over the globe calling this album a masterpiece because they just can't figure one thing out of it, kind of what happens when pseudo-smart people tries to understand a Buñuel movie and end up all messed up but saying "uh the movie is an artistic masterpiece" when they actually have no idea of what just happened?vous comprenez? Now that I think of it?it will work both ways; there will be dudes around killing this album just because they didn't get anything about its concept...damn this review is complex stuff.

Whatever the reason is, this album must be heard by everyone into music; I can't think of any other band with such a compound model, the genre mixture is really fucking something indescribable, and the music as a whole is really interesting. Along The Celestial Ruins[b] is the most chaotic release this year, one of the most interesting things since [b] Lightning Bolt served us with [i]Hypermagic Mountain[i/] last year; it's still not the best thing coming from Acerbic Noise Development, but hell it's good.

Best Tracks: "Kill Complete", "Zombies Inherit The Earth", "Death Wish 8: Charles Bronson Swings A Pink Hammer"
