Found this to be pretty boring. Every track seems to just cycle through a couple of technical death metal riffs and then end, with little variation. Musicianship is good but sterile, there's no particularly interesting songwriting, and there's very little to break up the monotony here. Occasionally the riffage feels more groove metal or -core influenced, giving this a modernized edge I don't really like. That said, I don't think I'd find the music that appealing even without those elements. The vocals are a deep-voiced tough talk style that I normally associate with something like Lamb of God and are only another modern element on top of music I'm not that excited about in the first place. A generic DM growler would have served the music better, I think.
