Just listen to the song "Gates" and tell me a better death metal song you've heard recently. There's not one. This was the easiest purchase decision I've made in quite a while. I want the bass and drums to be clear, up front, kicking my teeth in, with nasty vocals and buzzsaw guitars falling right in line. This album has that great production and song writing in spades. When this ends, you'll hit play again. Get your wallet out and buy this for the love of metal! Wxmaggot
