40 minutes of deathcore from a band known for solidifying the subgenre. It aligns more with Become The Hunter as a true-to-form deathcore album. Suicide Silence fans should be happy about that. Guitar riffs and rhythm section are strong enough, there is decent work in songs like “You Must Die” and “Kill Forever”. There is a solid effort. The two big problems are 1.) the album does drag by the end with little variation after a while, and 2.) Hermida’s vocals are starting to sound strained. You hear his higher register sound fine but when the guttural growls come out, it sounds rough and forced. It’s not an awful deathcore album at all but it’s also quite “safe” for deathcore. One step forward, one step back. Wish it was a better overall package. 6/10
