| Rhode Island's ANOXIA have unleashed one of the most memorable and brutal collections of songs this side of the Mississippi River. This listener had the privilege of previewing this CD at the 2003 Maryland Death Fest, and the extremity of the band exceeded my expectations. Highly technical riffs, classical and complex structure, excellent production, and hilarious samples shove this release along without let-up. ANOXIA have been active in the New England Metal scene for about a decade, but this CD captures them at their full maturity. Closest in style to ORIGIN, NILE and SUFFOCATION, songs like "Vampiric Whore," "Mausoleum Desecrator" and "Rebirth of Humanity" showcase an offering of engaging technical Death Metal that tromps the stones of years with a gargantuan stride. Seek it out. |
