More crushing evil from the Floridian troops of death metal. The band never give up with their uncompromising assault, at once demonic, arrogant and somehow original in a scene literally drowning in fast, furious and heavy bands, but the riffs here are as expected, warped and black, and Vincent's thunder bass and gargoyle vocals rise above the sea of venom like growls from the Devil himself. 'Where The Slime Live' is a Lovecraftian soundtrack of slithering horror and menace, and new addition Erik Rutan supplies some amazing guitar work as the band vomit forth all manner of swampy textures and hellish fire, 'Eyes To See...' is frantic and molesting, but overall the band have a perfect mix of slower, sludgier darkness alongside the soul-raping speed. These guys have always been up there with the best, and the first handful of albums remain death metal classics that every disciple of death metal should own.
8/10
