Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
A focused death-metal record with convincing weight and a few changes of pace, though its riff language stays close to established old-school forms.
What we noticed
- The record opens with a direct, fast riff rather than an extended intro, then keeps returning to short, blunt attacks and crust-punk momentum.
- “My Black Siberia” stretches the pace into a slower, heavier passage before the closing tracks return to the album’s compact, driving approach.
- The eleven tracks keep a narrow palette of downtuned guitars, rough vocals and forceful drumming, with little change in texture between songs.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
