I seriously have to hand it to Prosthetic Records yet again for discovering unrelenting raw talent. This label never ceases to amaze me. Band after band, album after album, they keep stepping it up and putting out great efforts by the newest and most brutal bands out there. So here we go again, starting off the new year with a thunderous BANG!

BTM are a straight up brutal, intense and superbly talented band right out of Canada. Everything on this album is filled with the most amazing musicianship that I have ever heard. The technicality of this guitar god are unrelenting. It makes me dizzy just thinking of how he could possibly come up these brutal, complicated stop and go riffs. Think Dillinger Escape Plan x1,000. The drumming here fall nothing short of ridiculous, I can't imagine how he could go so fast for so long. The bassist seems a little bit in the background, but seriously adding to the stomping that this band is putting on you. Last but not least, the vocals are lacerating making this release an extreme ride of neck breaking metal.

I just got this album, and it's already my favorite record this year so far. If you are a fan of any extreme form of metal, or even just a fan of excellent musicianship, than you will love this. If you like bands such as Dillinger, Cryptopsy, or Pysopus, than you will love this There is not a single bad thing you can say about these guy's, it's scary at how precise and perfect they play. I expect huge things from them from this point forward.
