Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
A tightly paced set of old-school death metal, made more personal by its crust-punk drive and recurring slowdowns than by radically new songwriting.
What we noticed
- The first nine tracks stay compact, with crust-punk gallops and blasts repeatedly giving way to slower, heavier passages.
- The buzzsaw guitar tone and rough, barked vocals stay consistent; the title track closes the sequence as its longest, more drawn-out piece.

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.
