Hey Levi! Thanks for the shout and review bro! It's funny, I've actually never been that into Judas Priest. Iron Maiden, however - big yes. Perhaps that's where some of that classic heavy metal snuck in? I think your critiques are definitely valid and end of the day that really comes down to personal taste, as I've been told by a couple people "Congenital Malformation" is their fave song on the album so far. I personally love both the brutal groove and melodic/thrash side of death metal hence why there's a bit of both on the record. It's also interesting that you really enjoyed "Pollution Plague", as I personally think its the weakest song on the album hahaha. But hey! There ya go
