Phlebotomized is a long-running band that was originally formed in 1989 as Bacterial Disease but changed its name in 1990. This album is my first exposure to their music. The band's style is varied and interesting, perhaps too diverse for many death metal purists. I like it though for a change of pace.

Did anyone get into this disc a couple years back? I did, but I know that the metalcore tag turns a lot of people off even though I don't hear much core it's death metal just melodic at times and aggressive at others.

I first became aware of this band back in September when I saw the pre-release info for their new album and that made me search out their older stuff like this album which is really very good in my opinion. Don't sleep on the new disc either or you'll regret it.

I like this band they have an old-school style and created some highly entertaining death metal with this release.

I have long been a fan of this band's work but lost track of them after their 2014 album The Fifth Fury and completely missed their 2021 release, and somehow I didn't know about this album either until just recently when it popped up on my Bandcamp feed. I am thankful for the algorithm though because I am very surprised and impressed with this album and how much I like it. I don't really consider it to be a technical death metal album but it has a killer groove and is very catchy.

I really enjoyed the first 2 albums by Karpathian Relict and that got me to order a physical copy of this CD last year but when I got it and listened it didn't really grab me the way the previous had. This is my own CD rip and I have had this sitting here waiting to post for a long time and finally getting around to it. Check it and see what you think.
