Forward-thinking Thrash that never forgets its roots. This is killer stuff, esp. for those who tire of the retro-Thrash movement's unrelenting Exodus worship
Sentient is a captivating slab of old-school flavored Death Metal, extremely well written, a dizzying and unsettling run through a maze right out of your worst nightmares. Awesome stuff \m/
If Dio fronted Candlemass, it would have probably sounded a little like this. Crypt Sermon bring the goods with this spellbinding and powerful Doom Metal masterpiece.
Defeated Sanity's trademark brutality is delightfully sinister, while the Max Phelps-fronted second half of the album is dizzying, classic-sounding Prog/Tech Death at its best. Awesome release.
