Brazilian grinding death metallers Anmod don't quite sound as most of their contemporaries. Whereas most Brazilian death metal bands (Abhorrence, Krisiun, Mental Horror, the Ordher, etc) specialize in lightspeed genre exercises Anmod sound more European as their attack is more deliberately paced. Anmod sound more like a mix of "False" era Gorefest and "Blessed Are the Sick" era Morbid Angel with the urgency of "From Enslavement to Obliteration" era Napalm Death. There's a definite grind influence although it is fairly understated in the majority of the material present on this album. The thick riffing, on both bass and guitar, alongside the straightforward, no-frills drumming easily place Anmod in league with Vader for sheer intensity. All tracks are carefully structured and the band's instrumental prowess adds a bludgeoning schwung to the material. Despite being a power trio Anmod is able to produce a massive sound that puts many of its contemporaries to shame. There's little place to catch a breath on this record as Anmod grinds, thrashes and grooves its way through the material at a ridiculous pace. The production is excellent with a thick guitar tone that is as heavy as it is clear. The bass can be heard and the drums possess all the power they need without becoming overbearing in the process. Artwork, design and lay-out are a bit unspectacular but nevertheless it fits this album rather nicely. This is the debut many bands can only dream of making.
