This is one of the vilest Death Metal bands in existence, and they've been a favourite of mine since I first heard them back in 2008 when Under Wing of Asael was released. I still remember buying all available releases they had at the time. Unfortunately for me, that did not include their first demo, but at least I got the rest. Starting out as a two-piece band with an outstanding and unique sound, they've grown over the years into the immense entity they are today. Their second album λόγος (is the Ancient Greek word "Logos" and it has a couple of different meanings/interpretations. Originally a word meaning "a ground", "a plea", "an opinion", "an expectation", "word", "speech", "account", "reason", "purpose". It became a technical term in philosophy, beginning with Heraclitus (ca. 535–475 BC), who used the term for a principle of order and knowledge. The word also has other interpretations in philosophy and in Religion.) follows suit with their former works of total chaos on the surface. And only by penetrating through to the core of their musical output, and the genious within it. Will you be able to appreciate Antediluvian and λόγος.
As on their previous album, the songs blend into each other seamlessly. This makes it hard to appreciate their songs on their own and not just as a whole. In spite of this "Consumate Spellbound Synapses" and "Nuclear Crucifixion (Turning the Spear Inward)" are tracks that really stand out on this album, at least to me. The album is relentless, fast-paced and as brutal as you'd expect. There's not alot of breaks from the violence Antediluvian thrusts upon you. The drumming this time around is really good though, and probably some of the best it's ever been in Antediluvian. There's always been alot going on when it comes to the drumming in this band, but this time around it's just really expertly executed. "Transept of Limb"s is really good example of this. And I hope this isn't the last album to come from Antediluvian.
As far as availability goes, it's still possible to buy from Nuclear War Now on cd, alongside several other of the bands releases. And probably elsewhere as well.
