THE SOUND OF PERSEVERANCE

Absolute beast of an album, it's just that it's overshadowed (and with a reason) by its legendary predecessor and big brother Symbolic. The Sound Of Perseverance is probably the most technical Death album, featuring lengthier songs and sheer brutality all way along. There's some shorter tracks like Voice Of The Soul that are unique due to the contrast they provide to the rest of the album, with the one mentioned being a instrumental ballad.

Some standouts would be Scavenger Of Human Sorrow, Spirit Crusher and Flesh And The Power It Holds. All those being amazing and solid quintessential Death Metal tracks. This is an essential record for any Death Metal collection, most metal heads can agree on that. It's five stars for me, second best Death album in my opinion.
