Spectral in 2018 turned out to become the great revelation in technical death metal for me. Neural Correlates of Hate shows how to create a complex and brutal yet catchy and melodic material in modern music. Alongside with such bands like Spawn of Possession, Obscura, Necrophagist, Alkaloid, Archspire and many other well known tech-death bands Spectral defines the approach to creating such music and sound. 10/10, one of the best albums of the decade.
