INDIVIDUAL THOUGHT PATTERNS

When you look at the album and title names, you think of modern prog-metal bands. The music is equally intellectual but what a brutality! Bass drums and drumming speed have surpassed the first thrash-influenced albums and I'm thankful for that. There are some interesting irregular rhythms ("Mentally blind", "Individual thought patterns"), great fill-ins and muscular bass, listen to "Jealousy" for its more prominent sound. "Nothing is everything" contains what we can say a hint of melody, bass guitar attack and the madness is topped by super busy complex drumming. Certainly one of the most memorable tracks here. The band's instrumental interplay is marvelous and never goes over the top as they switch among more complex and straightforward bursts of death metal. Vocally, the singer made a step forward - he tries to a few exercises here with growling but the main focus is on guitar playing. The technical significance of this album and what it started are indisputable.
