it's a Cannibal Corpse album. you heard one of them, you've heard them all - especially in the Corpsegrinder era. speaking of who, he's so much better than Chris Barnes that it's almost funny. but yeah, this is one of their weaker works from what i've heard. this band's albums should be 30 minutes tops tbh
