CONSUMING IMPULSE

This album is a small step towards the epic death metal stuff they did on the Testimony album. This album was regarded as a great death metal album when it was released. Today, it sound both dated and impotent. It has been surpassed by far superior death metal albums.

Some of the stuff here are OK. It gives a forewarning about the great step Pestilence did on the Testimony album. An album who then again led to Spheres. Reduced To Ashes is a good song with some epic melody lines. But most of the Consuming Impulse is just generic thrash/death metal and nothing more. This album can safely be ignored by the progressive minded. Even death metal fans will find it hard to like this album.
