Much more impressive than their "As Tears.." EP, I think they have a disc in between those two, but I haven't heard it. Anyway, the riffing is somewhat in the Gothenberg death metal vein, but is more straightforward, with more sedate harmonizing between the guitars. This disc also has one of the coolest songs I've heard in awhile, "The Complete Emptiness". Nothing ground breaking about it, it just has some really cool riffs and a cool arrangement that mixes old school Swedish death metal with the Gothenberg style. Also present on the disc are some really cool acoustic passages that aren't just their main riffs done acoustically. Production is clean and thick thanks to Thomas Skogsberg and Jokke Pettersson.
