The pinnacle of Death’s evolution. Oddly enough, this was the first Death album I ever heard, when I was 16 or 17, and I couldn’t understand why everyone thought this band was so brutal. What’s brutal about this? Haha
Anyways, I enjoyed it a lot and used to jam this when up late playing WoW. Nowadays I’m a bit more mature and can enjoy it even more. I get that Fenriz from Darkthrone thinks this is “fucking shit”. Maybe he is stuck at 17 years old? No idea.
“Flesh And The Power It Holds” and “Spirit Crusher” are perfect examples of what this record is all about.
