I always wondered what the meaning of art was. As in, what is the main goal for the artist(s)? What would be the greatest achievement? If you ask yours truly, the main goal would be to make something greater than the creator(s) and spectators, a grand monument with such a force that it can stand proud and imposing against anything around it. Ulcerate did just that. Again.

Ulcerate practically need no introduction on this site anymore. They are endeared with the respect and awe of almost everyone that's heard them. If you haven't yet heard them I bet you're well curious about them now, eh?

Listened to the track that Joe posted, this is sounding delicious, and this is coming from someone who doesn't normally enjoy these more dissonant forms of death metal.

Dude, man, bro. Check out Destroyer of All. I wouldn't call myself a BDM fan, but even I couldn't deny that album is freaking boss.

Probably my favorite death metal release from the year. Abyssal is close, but this album is just so absolutely undeniably massive that I'm not sure anything can match it. I might have put Duobetic Homunkulus above this, but it's just an EP and didn't really have the same impact that Vermis did. Utterly brilliant and truly "god-tier".

Erm...it's THE number 1 highest rated album of 2013 right now. But yea, expect some form of vote abuse. Might not be a bad idea to keep an eye out for boosters and tankers...

At least it didn't get bombed with 1s, though it probably will receive a couple eventually. Also, this one is vastly superior to Summoning in my opinion. Though one can hardly compare the two, of course.

Meh, I didn't get grabbed by this album when I checked it out the first time, and haven't tried to come back to it yet. I thoroughly enjoyed Summoning but I was happy to see something else in the #1 spot for a change.

Don't get me wrong, I think the 9.4 or whatever it had when it came in was a bit too high, but I still enjoy this album a lot. Summoning is good too, but that one definitely wouldn't get higher than a 7.5 for me.
So, when I said "vastly superior" really I just meant... superior. Poor choice of words

China was a neat
Why the generic band logo instead of the old one which was amazing? (Following in the same vein as Fleshgod Apocalypse).

Well nothing can be perfect it seems.

It's not just the speed, but the mentally challenging tempo/time-signature changes. One of the best drummers alive atm!

It's really hard to describe but I've been convinced that this album has a little bad production. Not a big problem though

You and I appear to have different opinions when it comes to production, I think it suits the sound perfectly.
