First off, let me say that I listen to all sorts and metal and noise bands, so I have no problem listening to heavy or chaotic music. But this I just can’t take. The best way to describe this music is : drone-like guitar of Mick Barr(Krallice, Ocrilim), insanely fast yet minimilast drumming, and non-lyrical howling. The problem is, is just doesn’t sound good. The music itself is really repetitive, but LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE SONG SOUNDS THE EXACT SAME! I know that metal is a somewhat repetitive genre, but this blows it out of the water.

I was turned on to Liturgy from the samples on Amazon, so I downloaded the album. I gave them two stars because you can tell that the musicians are really talented, escpecially the drummer, but they defintley need to focus more. Download before you buy.

I saw this only got one review which was what I would expect for someone not too into this type of metal. This is similar to death metal but with much higher pitched screams and more technical music. The chanting on some tracks really pushes this album to greatness and seeing them play this live was incredible, chanting and all.

Best track is 3/4 – download those two and link them together for one hell of a good track.

There are many black metal bands that came to mind when I heard them live and then heard the album and there are many great traits of Behemoth’s older material that I feel influenced Renihilation.

Pitchfork also seemed really into the album as well and they grade VERY hard: [...]

If you like black metal or want a very unique and very listenable heavy album with ghost like screams – get this.
