Asfodelo praises Cianide’s The Dying Truth as uncompromising, bestial death metal steeped in doom. The review highlights the oppressive pace and few chances to headbang. Standout tracks: Scourging at the Pillar and Funeral. It notes A Descent Into Hell is more well-known, but crowns The Dying Truth the excellent pick. Rating: 4/5.
