Three guys. That’s it. Paul Ryan, Mike Flores and John Longstreth, recorded with longtime engineer Robert Rebeck, and somehow it sounds like a small army falling down a staircase at 300 bpm.

“Expulsion of Fury” opens the gates, “Conceiving Death” keeps the pressure on, and Longstreth plays like he’s been told the drums owe him money. Then comes the closing pair, “Consequence of Solution” and “Evolution of Extinction”, where the band actually lets riffs breathe for a second. Just a second. Bring a neck brace and maybe a snack.

Best tracks:

Expulsion of Fury
Conceiving Death
Consequence of Solution
