HUMAN

This is the album where progressive elements start to be overwhelming or at least equal the death metal ones. Still, there is the same amount of heaviness - intensive drumming, aggressive guitars and screaming. Surprisingly, the songs are quite short, no beating 5 minutes. The album starts off by intensive drumming and turning into a complex guitar supported rhythm long before a more conventional death metal scheme kicks in. There are couple of standouts - "Secret face" is en essential piece of progressive death metal - it features different moods, styles. "Cosmic sea" is like out of different Death planet, absolute moody and spacey with keyboards followed by killer blistering guitar solo. "Vacant planets" first sounds like a straight death-metal number but the middle section is jaw-dropping.
