Desenterrador Proabley of the of the most bizantine forward thinking out of this world death metal records ever Favorite track: Lake of Fire.

Jamie Platt Get the non Full Dynamic Range one and get an extra song. Same with Morbid Angel’s Altars of Madness as well, although you get 4 extra songs on that one.

Incredible to see how gracefully this album has aged. For all its technical prowess, it never forgets to be catchy - the second it's over, you can only crave for another serving of such well-crafted aural brutality. Masterpiece! OliFant
