A very promising debut record from this Floridian death metal act considering the amount of acts from Florida, or who sought Florida, during the explosion of the scene. Malevolent Creation remain one of the most potent acts, dealing in brutal, bone-breaking extremity, tight percussion, heavy riffs and the gruff vocal delivery. 'Multiple Stab Wounds' remains my favourite cut, a mid-tempo grinder with some electric guitar work and a structure reminiscent of Death with its decipherable vocals and complex arrangements. A majority of the other tracks on offer take the speed up a notch, 'Impaled Existence' brings to mind Morbid Angel at their very best, 'Sacrificial Annihilation' features some superb bass work, and 'Injected Sufferage' is classic death metal. This is one of those death metal albums that deserved more promotion and coverage, and has stood the test of time.
7.5/10
