These guys from Salt Lake City are new to me, and they have created a decent debut. They're labeled as death metal, but I hear a fair bit of blackness in their sound and a somewhat muddy production mix. It doesn't matter, I like the album.

Even though this album is more than a decade old I only stumbled across it a couple of months back, and when I finally decided to give it a listen, my first thought was, damn this is interesting! There are parts of the album that work very well, thrashy and jamming, and then there are other parts that are a bit too progressive, but overall, I really dig it.
