 The drummer seeks to surpass himself with unsustainable and decidedly superhuman speeds.

 This record is so cold and mathematical that it takes away all the pleasure of listening to a group play live.

Cryptopsy's live album None So Live showcases their exceptional technical skills and musicianship, especially highlighting Flo Mounier’s drumming. However, the recording feels overly precise and lacks the raw energy and spontaneity typical of live shows. The vocalist Martin Delacroix successfully bridges styles though lacks personality. Despite flawless execution, the album comes off as a cold demonstration of skill rather than an engaging live experience, partly due to mixing issues and an excessive focus on virtuosity. Discover the incredible technical prowess of Cryptopsy live and decide if their precision or raw energy wins you over!

 A truly rare versatility: warm in melody, sickly in distress, corrosive in anger and despair.

 Skinless wanted to open their music to a broader audience, but in doing so, they lost much of their original fan base.

 The vocals then, are a stab in the back: it’s astonishing to hear one of the best growlers in the Death scene indulging in rare but dreadful Clean Vocals.

Skinless' 2003 album 'From Sacrifice To Survival' marks a disappointing divergence from their previous brutal and oppressive style. With lineup and production changes, the album becomes more accessible but loses emotional depth and original intensity. Despite technical skill and detailed compositions, it ultimately fails to satisfy longtime fans and leaves a lackluster impression. Discover why Skinless' 'From Sacrifice To Survival' divides fans—listen and judge the shift yourself!

 Incantation remains the same, but so does their music, and as powerful as it is, it fails to mask a certain lack of ideas.

 The songs are not only formed by riffs replicated to collapse but are all based on the same structure: this not only makes them hard to distinguish but makes the entire CD excessively monolithic and boring.

This review examines Incantation's 2004 album Decimate Christendom, praising the band's technical abilities and perfect production. However, it criticizes the album's repetitiveness, lack of innovation, and monotony in songwriting. While some songs stand out, most are considered boring and overly similar to past works.
