| Asphyx don't play "death-doom" in the style of Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Novembers Doom or Swallow The Sun. Instead, this is just straight death-metal with occasional very slow passages. A cool riff or groove stands out here and there, and one of these songs carries a mournful, ominous solo above the crushing framework--but I can't even remember which song it is now. And that's the hell of it with Asphyx: ultimately, their music is fairly boring and one-dimensional to me. Not bad by any stretch, but it failed to leave a lasting impression.

| Okay, so yes: I was a bit hard on this in my initial review. I WANTED it to be more like Paradise Lost and the other bands I named, because that's more what I was into. Also, I was listening at the wrong volume. This needs to be played loud, or else the guitars and bass just blur into a trebly, Euro-death buzzsaw. Cranked up, you can appreciate the boulder-size riffs as Martin van Drunen spins his tales of woe. His voice is on the higher side of a death growl, more John Tardy than Chris Barnes (though he's singing actual words). "Minefields" is a grueling, literal crawl through a battlefield, punctuated by a mournful lead of impossibly sustained notes. "Der Landser" features an even more evocative solo (it's the one I was trying to recall in my first comment). And shit, they have a song called "We Doom You To Death"—'nuff said. In among all the muddy misery are some almost jaunty, hardcore-infused anthems extolling the virtues of death-metal. Judas Priest would be proud of a metal-is-t

| Judas Priest would be proud of a metal-is-the-message fist-pumper like the title track. So I do enjoy this album quite a lot nowadays, but I also appreciate the (slightly) increased dynamics of the following Incoming Death just a little bit more.
