I think there are some really interesting melodies and groves, i like!
I have to listen more though.
The only bad reaction for me is on timings and technique.
Yay, a positive comment
Personally I cant put my finger on if its the drums or guitars that are off when it comes to timing? To me it sounds like guitars needs polishing? But maybe its the drums fucking it up?
The first 20secs of Mass Human Pyre for example, whats going on there?
(if it wasnt so out of... err (otakt in english?) it would pwn, totally reminds me of Slayer )
I think the overall songwriting is better than the first demo. More varied material and it's just more interesting to listen to imo. It doesn't have the fillerish-type songs, but rather a few quality songs in stead. Much more preferable if you ask me, I think anyone would agree You're not the most technically gifted guys with flashing solos, über tech drum solos and whatnot but the songs you've written sounds good and I think you capture the old school vibe really good. My opinion.
