| This album made an instant impact. Already a fan of their death metal sound, but this album is album is equivalent to what DsO has done to black metal. |

Damn straight.
I seriously can't see any other death metal albums topping this one this year. It would be a feat if it did. Nice work on the review |

Great review!
Is there any other DM bands with this kind of atmosphere? |

Mitochondrion is the first that comes to mind. Portal too. |

| I personally think Mitochondrion is too steeped in old-school atmosphere to match this. Portal comes closer but again its atmosphere is a little on the harsh and dank side. I've heard nothing like this myself. |

The old-school atmosphere of Mitochondrion gives Parasignosis the edge imo. But it's really on whether you enjoy that atmosphere or not, because musically they're both excellent. |

| Excellent review and finally it got the rating it deserves. Ulcerate is like a magnet and The destroyers of all and Everything is fire are its south pole and north pole. Dead Oceans is simply outstanding and the final track is very very epic imho |

The closest album comparable to this would be Paracletus by DSO.
Anyways, I think The Destroyers of All is a huge step down from Everything is Fire. The drumming is still amazing, but this one doesn't grab me nearly as much |

The reason for that is most likely the focus on atmosphere this time around (or at least a different atmosphere), which is a purely subjective element. Some people enjoy a certain style, others don't - which would explain why you don't hate the musicianship but still feel let down by this considering its predecessor. I acknowledge the differences as well, only both albums manage to cater to my personal tastes.  |

| They just seemed to write it too quickly. They didn't have Goaters on guitar this time, and only two members wrote this album. I'm not sure if it was written individually or together, or what the writing process was like for EiF, but that's just what I assumed |

| I don't really like to compare their earlier work with this. Both are extremely intriguing in their own ways. I tend enjoy this a bit more... |
|
|
|
| This band is destined to be huge, up there with Nile and Suffocation and friends. |

| WOW! This album really grows into a monster as it's played. A steamroller of an album. Or maybe An Insatiable Rape Demon of an album! I'll have to check out their other stuff. It's thick cohesive atmosphere reminds me of Esoteric if they played Death metal, but maybe that's the trick. |

Check out Everything is Fire (the album released before this) for a less atmospheric, yet much more brutal assault. |
