This self produced release by Australia's Ouroboros is one of my favorite releases of the year. It is outstanding technical death metal, with more than a touch of thrash metal thrown in. Every aspect of this albums gels. This is no sterile display of technical skill, but an organic collaboration of deft drumming, swift and mighty riff work, the guitars benefiting from a clean crunch, making every note audible. This is no murk-fest. The leads stand out, reaching for guitar hero glory, and most often attaining it. Hopefully, a good label picks up this band, as they deserve much more exposure.
