However, there\u2019s plenty to get your fangs into here as the meaty riffs chug along with such a density; check out the guttural twists of \u2018Progeny Of Despair\u2019 and the rank, stabbing motions of \u2018Enthralled By Depravity\u2019. Think of the likes of Suffocation, Broken Hope and Cryptopsy but with extra layers of wet clay attached to everything.<\/p>\n<p>The only respite here comes with the odd \u2018Austere Festivity\u2019 which is both haunting and uplifting as a piano-led instrumental, although it does give way to the churning \u2018Ablated\u2019 which rounds off this moreish and chewable selection of weighty, thick slabs.
