thought the album was pretty freaking rad. there's some moments where the vocals almost get into black-metal shriek territory and that adds a whole new level when you're used to borrowing old grumbling of basic death metal. a lot of blackened death gets monotonous after a few tracks but this thing is very low-key in it's diversity. you get some straight up pummelling death metal as well as some nice doom-y moments where the band slows down and drills you with these sludgy riffs before picking the pace back up. i listened on youtube so citing exact tracks is a little tough but i think it's the 3rd track Shattered Dreams that just straight up goes from synth intro into doom worship into death metal and then into some early Metallica-esque guitar work (around 12:40 in the album if you don't believe me.)
it's ironic, or coincidental, whatever, that my first post was about how i find death metal to be a rather boring and generic genre. then Batty brought this album out and ****ed me in the ass with it. props. 4/5

I got lucky tbh. I was downloading a bunch of prog/experimental death metal and this just so happens to be the best thing I've found over the last couple days.

Spotify if possible, but I'm not cutting an album unless I can't find a link from somewhere else even if I have to upload it myself.

i can't follow the tracks very well so it makes it hard to review, also i never trust the sound quality with some versions that are uploaded. i mean whatever, if you guys say this album is that good then i'll use youtube, I'll get on it tomorrow.
