Intelligent, thought out metal, where the technicality and heavy factor are set on Œ10¹ without the cheesy stigmas of death metal. A breakdown will show up every now and then, but the true power of this band relies in their original licks and speed. “Like a Train Through a Pigeon” is blastbeat into hyper-thrash into blastbeat with a couple breakdowns thrown in that are easily Hatebreed¹s Harvard graduate of a cousin in execution. Especially on the track “Catalepsy,” the listener is sucker-punched in the face with a sickening breakdown around the 1:20 mark—their missing front teeth serves as evidence. Production is a per! fect compliment to the style.
