The current lineup of contains only guitarist from the original quartet, and this configuration has cut only one record together: the all-covers collection , which is, admittedly, not the best way to judge the abilities of a grind-and-gore core outfit like . That said, they have been road warriors for the last six years both on U.S. And European shores, and as a result, they've learned to play together -- in a live setting at least -- nearly symbiotically. , fellow guitarist , drummer , and bassist have, on , cut a set that while not returning to the band's gore-grind demo era of yore, is a more stripped-to-the-bone and go-straight-for-the-entrails outing than 2003's was. A solid comparison in terms of the genre would be something akin to 's , in terms of pure attack and throttle abandon. The music here isn't as knotty or complex compared to other bands who play like-minded fare, which doesn't mean it doesn't posses its share of insane riffing, off-the-rails guitar soloing, or almost superhuman drum speedery: check "I Rot Within" and the syncopated craziness of "Funereality." There is the back and forth riffing in "Through Cadaver Eyes" that takes a brief but meaty riff and spins it out into an aural assault weapon. "Death Knell" is straight-ahead grindcore metal played at a blistering pace. Ultimately, proves that there is plenty of life left in , with the album signaling a new era. ~ Thom Jurek
