"Before I go over this, I have something to say to the one star reviewer below me. If you didn't like this album, why did you bother purchasing this CD? Only a total moron would do such a mistake like what you did. Please, just f**k off.



Now, back to this album. Malevolent Creation are such an underrated Death Metal band and they really deserve a lot of credit. Their talent must never be denied. This album still exemplifies their great talent. Brett Hoffmann's vocals may turn off some other newcomers but I love his vocal style. He is quite better than most other low-grunting vocalists in Death Metal because instead of just grunting out lyrics, he shapes his voice mostly around the songs and has the creatibility and complexity, making it much better. He's better than Jason Blaschowicz and Kyle Symons (don't get me wrong, Brett is way better than them but then I also like them too.). Brett is at his best when he sings in the song "Pursuit Revised." This song has a duet with a lower voiced singer, probably Kyle Symons (unless that's actually Brett?). Perhaps one of the sickest moments in Heavy (actually Death) Metal history is when Brett's voice starts to crack towards the end of the song, which is absolutely insane.



Another highlight of the album is the drummer, THE Dave Culross. I personally think that he is the most talented drummer in Death Metal. All of the songs shine very well with his drumming but he is at his best when he performs in the title track; there's this weird stutter step at around 1:40.



Time and time again, Malevolent Creation proves that they play second fiddle to no one else. They probably are among the best Death Metal bands in Metal history. Malevolent Creation are NOT disciples of Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, or anybody else. They have their own unique style that makes them really talented and almost perfect.



Death to all posers/preps, unoriginal Heavy and Thrash Metal loving Metalheads, and Metal Snobs.



Long live the Death Metal band that is my most favorite of them all, Malevolent Creation!!! \M/\M/"
