The fifth album is old-school, blasting death metal, delivered with the intense simplicity that both cult figures are known for. This is blasting and uptempo. It is not 100% blast-attack death, but it certainly blasts a lot. Maybe in some of the guitar solos, people will detect a bit of melody, but other than that, this is headbanging death all the way. --Metal Bulletin Zine
