I think if the demon yapping at me could learn to annunciate clearly I think I could connect with this album a whole lot more.

I did like the opener and could half understand the closer so those two tracks are cool at least. A little work on clarity and this would be a completely different album.

Phenomenal EP, the raw production and energetic performances are everything I'd want from it. Many of the songs will be rerecorded on the debut album but they work on their own here next to few exclusive tracks.

Should be tagged as just death metal instead of brutal or tech death. Still a damn near perfect album.

Wow! Suffocation really are some of the best to ever do it. This EP shows just how raw and unrelenting they are.

​Essa capa é muito massa. O Suffocation, ao contrário do que diz o nome, em nenhum momento te faz querer tirar a música. É bem sólido, instigante e visceral como o diabo quer.
