Strong melodic death metal songs and assured performances are offset by a compilation sequence that moves between studio and live cuts without building an album-length arc.

What we noticed

  • The opening five tracks are studio recordings; the sequence jumps from the 2011 opener to older material, then inserts a live cut at track six.
  • After that live track, the set returns to studio recordings before closing with two live tracks, so the format changes again at the end.

Influence 1/10

Little footprint beyond its audience. 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.
