Human-Classic death metal at its best. Looked upon by alot of fans as Death's "prime cut" material. It was the midpoint of the releases (4th/7). This and Symbolic are the highest two reviewed and rated Death full lengths on Metal-Archives.com. Very standard death metal, inspired thousands of metal band's music obviously because Death and Possessed started death metal. Chuck shows his master shredding skills in most of the songs and it comes out beautifully. Recommended for fans of: Old School Death Metal. Overall Rating: 8/10

The March-Probably one of the most disgusting mother-fuckin things i've ever heard. These guys need a real bitch slap to the face. These guys are retards and they are only in metal-archives due to the fact they're signed to a huge metal label and alot of past members are/were in alot of different metal bands. My friend bought this for me and told me to give them a chance for once because i never did. I graced his generosity and listened. The CD has no layout. It's rhythmic melodic vomit. It's beyond mediocre. Each song for the whole album goes back and forth between good guitar licks and good lyrics (not vocals) until track 10 and 11 collide them together and sounded somewhat mediocre. The vocals are really shitty hardcore whines, drums are just there, can't hear the bass, shitty-ass breakdowns; and only had one at the start of the album basically. This is like if killswitch engage's singer got shot, raped, and left in an alleyway for his bandmates of the same fate to find him. I respect killswitch because they have talent and pull off metalcore well. But unearth is the epitome of shit and the reason why metalheads hate hardcore/scenester kids (besides Emmure and Bring Me The Horizon). Recommended for NO ONE; DESTROY EVERY COPY OF THIS GARBAGE AT ONCE. Overall Rating: Negative Infinity/10

Fear Before-New self titled release from experimental post hardcore/mathcore band Fear Before. Formerly known as Fear Before The March Of Flames; the band decided for a change of pace (hence the dropping of "The March Of Flames" from the name). This is also due to the fact that FBTMOF significantly changed, progressing into more atmospheric experimental post hardcore/mathcore than their early 2 rooted mathcore albums. This CD is really good, beyond comprehension. The downfall is, it's hard to get into. I'm still having a hard time really getting into the CD. It is similar to "The Always Open Mouth" but it sounds crazy; as if you were to stick a few bands in a recording studio at the same time and pressing record. It's controlled chaos. It has the clashing reminiscent feel of early age FBTMOF battling with the newer album and EP (before the name change) at the same time. Recommended for fans of: people that smoke marijuana =o. Overall Rating: 8.9/10

Planetary Duality-One of the best releases ever in my book. Technical Death Metal (a great genre among the likes of Demilich <3) and Deathcore mixed together. Tech death and DC are what i mostly listen to when i just go to grab a CD. Planetary Duality has an epic vibe fusing alien influences with jazz, brutal tech death, deathcore, and hints of black metal. My favorite parts are the breakdowns and the fact that the singer uses a vocoder on his voice and sounds like a crazy robot. Recommended for fans of: Tech death or Deathcore.

Akeldama-Heard samples of Planetary Duality, so i went out and bought both CD's in the same day. Picked this one up in florida for 6$ (other one 12$) and got a great deal. I popped this CD and (along with "Planetary Duality") i was blown away. The CD is immense and just stands there in front of you saying "I will break you". The tight drumming (from session drummers of: as blood runs black, embalmed, emetic, diskreet, etc.) to the crazy bass lines, to the beautiful guitar sweeps and breakdowns. Really, this band was made to be my favorite. Recommended to fans of: Tech Death and Deathcore. Overall Rating: 43815236178247612563879128475126874912875168297481347567912487512869471834/10
