With this record, Chuck takes Death’s sound one step further by extending it to Control Denied. The album is a compelling mix of speed, power, and musical brilliance from Chuck and the rest of the band. The sound reminds me a little of old Fates Warning (‘Night on Brocken’ or ‘The Spectre Within’) sound, but better and much more brutal. This album just proves that Chuck Schuldiner is a musical genius who deserves more credit from people other than Death fans.
