This is one of my favorite albums of the past few years. It clocks in at 21 minutes, which makes it sort of like a modern day "Reign In Blood". It's an amazing album, and as the band puts it, really takes out all of the extraneous stuff and just gets to the good stuff. No guitar solos, and the production is gritty and distorted (in a good way, not in an old black metal way), but the songs and riffs shine, as do the incredible drumming, replete with blast and thrash beats.
As far as extreme metal goes, it's probably in my top 10.
In fact, if I were going to list my top 10 extreme metal albums, they would be (in no particular order)
Demigod - Behemoth
None So Vile - Cryptopsy
Stench of Redemption - Deicide
Icons of Evil - Vital Remains
You Will Never Be One Of Us - Nails
The Wretched Spawn - Cannibal Corpse
I, Monarch - Hate Eternal
Xenosapien - Cephalic Carnage
AssassiNation - Krisiun
Antithesis - Origin
