Living Monstrosity are hailing from UK and this is band’s fourth full length opus since being formed in 2010. Living Monstrosity play that UK school of death metal, old school death metal, but with added black metal influences in some guitar work, blast beats and atmosphere in songs, like combination of all those glorious UK death bands for example Benediction, Memoriam, Bolt Thrower, Napalm Death whose influence is also obvious, at least I hear it in some d-beat drum song parts like for example in excellent ‘The Worst Mistake In Human History’. Vocals are growled but you can understand most what is being sung, so that is another plus for excellent singer. There are also some atmospheric, calmer parts which serve as a prelude to insanity. Lyrics deal with death and fear of death, modern slavery in corporate world, pollution, nature, radiation sickness and similar more state of the world themes rather than fantasy and gore. Also, songs I must mention as my personal favorites are ‘Gratefully Confined To The Past’ and ‘Return To The Cave’ besides above mentioned song. Great opus by great band.
7,5/10
