Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Compact death-metal writing gains character from crust-punk propulsion and doom-heavy slowdowns, while the consistent attack limits the record’s tonal development.
What we noticed
- The opening run moves from the blunt charge of “Born to Decay” into shorter, tightly packed songs before the later tracks make more room for slower, heavier riffs.
- A rough, saturated guitar sound and forceful drums keep the faster passages abrasive; the tempo drops bring out a crawling, doom-weighted feel rather than a clean contrast.
- At twelve tracks, it sustains that harsh attack without stretching into long instrumental passages or a major change of texture.

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.
