Damn, the first song had me so pumped. I had to stop 5 tracks in...just got so bored. Full stream for anyone interested:

Funny, I recall Planisphaerium having the same problem. I guess this is one of those bands who are only worth listening to one track of.

Indeed. I guess it's time to give their other albums a listen for s&g.

This band is awesome! I really do like their sound! The onliest diasadvantage I see in the vocals. However, it's the matter of the taste.

I'm quite sure "Krighsu" means "fucking boring" is some language I'm not aware of.

I think they were trying to spell Krushi(n)g, but screwed up the spelling and also the music.

Seems like a good guess

Wormed has Always had the problem they have with this album. oNe or two tracks at a time are great but an entire albus or live perfomance has Always been a total drag.

I think it's a very common problem with Brutal Death. Not enough variety and focused too much on brutality, so it bores quite fast.
I felt the same when listening to Mass Infection's "For I Am Genocide". Not bad at first but you can't stand it anymore after a few songs.

Yeah, I can attest to this. Been listening to quite a bit of BDM lately and this certainly holds true.

For a long time, I wondered why I generally hate Brutal Death while I like my Metal music heavy, fast, aggressive and intense.
I think I finally found the reasons:

1. I think I also like variety and recognizable songs. Too often, unless you know an album very well, Brutal Death is very repetitive and samey. The songs tend to merge in an undistinguishable mess with nothing standing out. Add to this that it is usually not catchy at all and this is a recipe that fails to keep your attention for long.

2. While I enjoy speed very much, I also really like variation in tempo and 'quieter' parts to allow songs to breathe and develop. Brutal Death is usually very fast nearly all the time and pummeling as much as music can be.

3. I will probably surprise a few people here but I don't see Brutal Death as aggressive. Heavy? Pummeling? For sure. But aggressive as in gripping at your throat like Black Metal and Thrash can do? No. For me, brutal and aggressive are two different things. And when it comes to aggressivity, I think vocals play a big role. And rarely do I find deep growls aggressive. Only monotonous and extremely boring. Screaming vocals (be it more on the clean side or pure harsh vocals), when performed correctly, are much more aggressive and intense than growls. Much more emotional too. I feel no emotion from very deep growls, other than boredom.

4. I hate drums in Brutal Death. Not so much the way they are played as the way they sound. I like drums low in the mix, to complement the guitars. They are way too loud. And while I have no problem with triggered bass drums, I hate a triggered snare, especially as it makes blasts sound too loud.

Neomorph and Zeroth are my favorite tracks, debating between an 8 or 9

Grindcore needs to be removed from the style descriptor

Very long post that I agree with.

Pretty much agree with everything you said, although technically slam is a form of BDM and that's slow as hell. Maybe you should listen to some of that

Funny, I found this one a lot more engaging than Exodromos.

Some good moments in a sea of relatively bland, 1-dimensional metal.

Perhaps you bunch of snowflakes should stop listening to brutal death metal. Wormed kick ass.

For real brutal death metal isnt for everyone but I believe every (sub)genre has its strengths and weaknesses, always support the underground death metal scene fuckers, loved this album!
