Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
I just got to see Drained of Color and Rank and Defiled performed live and can tell you thise songs SHRED live. To the Dead is quickly becoming one of my favorite Exhumed albums 9RnK7
This album pummels you from track one to track eleven! Cannibal Corpse are one of the overlords of death metal, Erik Rutan brings it in his debut here. Let the metal flow! Garrett
