65 /100
Treeline
Higher than 39% of albums we've rated

A brief, tightly sequenced set whose stop-start brutality and low-end riffing give it a recognizable character, though the writing favors force over extended development.

What we noticed

  • The original eight-song sequence is compact; the catalogued silence and repeated song titles sit after it as edition material, not as part of the album's arc.
  • The songs pivot between low, churning guitar figures and bursts of blast-beat drumming, with guttural vocals kept forward in the mix.
  • Most tracks stay concise and riff-centered rather than opening into long solos or extended instrumental passages.

Influence 5/10

Significant within its genre. 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.
