Sælzer Bub if you think, you already heard everything about death metal you definitely missed this one. those double bass moments in "war" and "famine" are epic and the clean voice in "death" is amazing. the whole thing is an eargasm. melodic, hypnotic, haunting! Favorite track: War.

Opethian I haven't come across Death Metal sounding this fresh for sometime now. Colosso has taken this new offering of theirs to new brutal heights. Well executed from start to finish and the listener can hear and feel how much time and love went into creating for such an everlasting experience. I'm truly grateful for this album and it has already shot straight to the top for AOTY contender. Cheers from Colorado! Favorite track: Death.

DrakeZappa I like metal albums like this, that focus on an interesting contained concept and do something creative and fun with it. Awesome little record.

about

After years of toiling in the underground, putting out six releases of ever-evolving death metal, COLOSSO have conjured up their finest and partnered with our label to put out their newest and easily their most ambitious one yet. Based on the concept of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, founding member Max Tomé has recruited different vocalists for each song to give them their own identity and it helps that they're reputed figures in the Portuguese underground namely - Guilherme Henriques of OAK and GAEREA, Diogo Santana of ANALEPSY, and Sérgio Afonso of BLEEDING DISPLAY. Furthermore, to lend a human element to this futuristic album, Robin Stone of NORSE has taken over the drumming duties, with Alexandre Ribeiro of GROG fulfilling the bass responsibilities, while Max Tomé does the rest. The result is a breathtaking and refreshingly diverse album showcasing the myriad aspects of this bold and innovative death metal band without compromising on their aggressive, apocalyptic sound.
