So, I’ll start by saying, dear Mr. Sfascia Carrozze, that every comment of yours is always welcome: Death Metal as a convulsive, thick [in the sense of substantial] blanket of inhospitable, coarse, pestilential, disarticulated, a-melodic, ignorant, asphyxiating, uncompromising sounds and (ça va sans dire) extremely engaging, because (honestly and even without knowing the album under examination) I find it very hard to understand how the adjectives "technical" and "melodic" can be meaningfully interspersed and attributed in a similar sonic context. I have a different view from you regarding death metal, which for me can easily be melodic and technical.
Secondly, this album is not of the most recent publication; it’s already 11 years old, and if you happen to listen to it, it really seems to be a record that is in tune with the times.
As for the ratings, I tend to give high ones simply because I usually review albums that I like, and I always do it with a critical approach because, to give you an example, "Organasm" by Alchemist received 4 stars (even though I consider it absolutely deserving of 5) because I tried to be as critical as possible. Moreover, among the reviews I’ve written, there are also ratings that are not exactly high (Luca Turilli, for which I received a slew of negative votes; the same goes for Nightwish and at least 3 other albums in my not-so-crowded reviewography).
I therefore recommend that you listen to the album, and if you ever get the chance, let me know what you think.
Oh, one last thing to everyone: when commenting, please give ratings, as it’s nice for reviewers, at least for me, to know what people think of a review.
