Tiamat at their venemous best

"If you just started listening to Tiamat, circa Wildhoney or Deeper Kind of Slumber, and think that is Tiamat's sound, you might as well just not even bother getting this album. However, if you're into pure death metal that sounds like shards of glass being driven into your ears, this album is for you. The guitars are way beyond distorted, the drums keep the tempo at about 250 beats per minute and the vocals are lurched and vomited forth in speedy precision. Nothing against their other albums, I think they're all great, but if you really want to hear Tiamat, pick up Summerian Cry."
