"Every once in a while, there comes a band that just makes you sit up and go "Wow"...for me personally, it happened with Entombed and Carnage in the early days and more recently with bands like Bloodbath, Scent of Flesh and now I can add Spawn of Possession to that list. Technical, brutal death metal in it's purest form just the way I like it. Spawn of Possession is awesome - get on board !!"

Cabinet

"I had heard alot of really great things about this cd, and it is pretty insane. "Swarm Of The Formless" is probably one of my favorite death metal songs. The drummer is clearly the focal point of this group, and does an amazing job at coming up with interesting parts to complement the time changes and different riffs. The main problem with this CD is that I can't sit through the whole thing. A lot of the songs start to blur together, with only a few songs having memorable parts. However, the style of the band is quirky and interesting enough to make this much more palatable than it would be for most other bands. Highly recommended for fans of tech-death."

Hyper-technical brutal death upheaval

"One of the best of the lesser-known brutal technical death metal bands new to the scene, these Swedes carry a flag of uber-technical hyper-fast flawless death metal of the brutal kind. Definitely thier work is soaked in worship of the allmighty Suffocation, this is brutality on a par with Mid-Era Broken Hope, later Cryptopsy, mid-era Cannibal Corpse, later Deeds of Flesh, early Deicide, and other bands out to be as brutal and technical as possible. Perhaps the band most similar to them is a one-man outfit from Europe called NECROPHAGIST, which is pretty much as brutal and technical as it gets (how many times can I say brutal and technical in one review?)Anyway, this album, the entire way through, is unforgivingly intense. There is no pause, no relenting, and little breathing room in their riff-soaked syncopated wet dream of unabashed disiplinary musicianship. Listening to it gives me the feeling I got when I first heard Suffocation: my jaw dropped and I couldn't really keep up with the music, I had to just let it slam me against a wall and never stop pummeling me."
