Maybe it's because I haven't listened to much death metal in the last few months but this is pretty friggin awesome.

I haven't checked it out at all personally, but I've heard from various sources that it's definitely not the bullshit you might expect it to be.

They kind stopped that after their EP, which I thought was pretty fun. Their first full-length was kinda generic/dull but this one kicks all sorts of ass.

Album of the month in Terrorizer. Must give it a listen.

Its funny to watch a band grow before your eyes and then become something huge within about two years. I remember watching these guys play house shows in Lake Havasu with Suicide Silence and Stick to your guys cramming about 150 people into a garage on saturday nights and turning the pit into a bloodfest when they played Relinquished and their Doom EP material. They were original then metalcore was going on sure but they were something of a sight to see. Now they are just some shitty death metal band that play rehashed Decapitated riffs just to appease the idiot metal elites.

Yes stevelovesmoonspell, we all wish that we were the only ones that liked our favourite bands and get annoyed when other people are into them as well.

Also their new album is better than Decapitated

Nah man I can't stand them anymore, I just needed to vent on how far theyve come and how much they suck now. Besides I KNOW these guys are not your favorite band Mr.Changing Avatar

Eh, they're not bad from a listen at their MySpace. Def. better now than they used to be.

I gave them a brief listen and they aren't that bad. And for God's sake, change that name !

i don't know i mean i just remember seeing them play when they were my age and then with probably the exception of Despised Icon (to my knowledge) they were the only band doing the whole death metal influenced metalcore thing. They were original then in my opinion, even as much as people hate Doom for whatever reason. It was a hell of a lot more lively then that snoozefest Genesis

I know that comment was tongue-in-cheek, but do people really feel that way? That's nuts. I always figured if more people start liking the obscure bands i like, the more albums/merchandise/live shows become available for me! Everybody wins!

In my opinion they got big for the wrong reasons, I remember talking to Jonny at sounds of the underground in 2006, and he was telling me how sick he was of getting flayed alive by critics because of the DOOM EP. Then Genesis comes out and its some of the most watered-down death metal I have ever heard. I haven't seen a band try to pander to a scene as much as I have with Job for a cowboy. They genuinely want to be accepted by these faggot "Death metal veterans" who still think its the early 90's and bitch about the "current" state of the scene.

With good reason? Jesus, anything that moves away from the modern typical Deathcore sound is bound to get acclaim, at least JFAC aren't still on that godawful bandwagon.

hah well if they made better death metal then none of the dicks on MA or me for that matter would be complaining. So give them accolades for mediocrity on this album

well that would be a legit comment if they made better death metal then the watered down castrated shit now play would it haha. But hey give a band accolades for playing half measures of the accepted death metal status quo.

Hey guys how about stop being faggots and listen to Ruination and be like "dayumm fuck this rocks." Just be happy they don't play stupid bullshit like this. Their bassist plays a 4 string and the guitarists play 6 strings so that's far enough from modern death metal for me!

In fairness to myself and all involved, I think you mean "Hey steve stop being a faggot and...." (so on)
