This is just such a beautifull work.. the brutality, complexity of music and philosophical meaning hided in those amazing lyrics.. I'm trully in love with this album. That's a kind of music that i would like to create someday. True amazing technical/progressive death, with maybe a little pinch of clean vocals.. And respect to the bass.. ooh my God. Every instrument is just clearly hearable, and nobody is aprecciated less than the other musician. Perfect album guys!!

The part starting at 9.50 for example is incredible. Since two years i try to understand and the only thing i got is that the first half of it is counted 16 and 15, a 31 so to speak (if i got it right). That part is high tech metal!

I think this is the best second wave of techdeath album ever, even better than Epitaph and Onset of Putrefaction, I've never thought I'd say this but it's true, Necrophagist has been a big inspiration for me and a bigger influence than Obscura but this album it's really the absolute peak, maybe it's the more melodic approach to it or the progressive not only harmonic minor kind of soloing that makes it so great, also the clean parts are memorable and unique, I even think it's better than the classic of melodeath Slaughter Of The Soul and other great second wave techdeath albums like The Aura.
