Album: Element of Chaos
Genre: Technical Death Metal

Imagine if Brain Drill could write a song. Not only play quickly, but actually structure a song. That is Monumental Torment in a nutshell. Element of Chaos is my favourite technical death metal album so far this year. Although I'm uncertain as to whether it really appeals to fans outside of the genre, the Decapitated influences and the breakneck musicianship keep me--one not so big on tech. death--interested. Short answer: it's fast, then it speeds up. A solid recommendation for fans of quicker-paced technical metal. The piano interludes are neat too.
