So folks I have here something very different though quite interesting to say the least, so folks I think we are in for a real treat this time around.
This is Sick's Agony Towards My Places.

So we start off with the opening track Obsessive Paranoia. As the track begins we start off with some pretty mellow/heavy guitar parts mixed with a hard yet very groovy drum beat followed by bits of sound in the back for ambience, the track itself is very simple yet somehow very calming in a strange way as it has this continuous rhythm that in the only way I can really think of entraps you in its groove. As the song continues to play we start to hear bits and pieces of hard and well performed vocal lines matching quite well into the mix, what I can say now is that this song has been put together very well as it looks as if when making this song Suffer has thought of making the actual riff and drums the main focus instead of the vocal lines as if the vocal lines are important but are only there to help structure the song into the way it is, this has to be one of the most impressive pieces I have ever had the pleasure of listening to as it truly is a song with elements of different ideas being mixed into one shape.

As the record continues on we see that this album brings to life an emotion of ideas and devices that have been compiled in making this record what it truly is, and as well it is really and truly incredible how solid it is up to now as it really is a rarity to find a band that has this kind of idea in making such a record to what it is.

We now conclude with Deep Anxiety. As before this rack shares some of the same traits as Obsessive Paranoia, it focusses on both the time and the way it is structured and to be very honest it truly is rare to find a band with this kind of focus when recording or writing. As it continues on we see how the song is able to change along and as well how the structure grows along with it, in any sense it holds a grand stance among the rest of the record and is able to flow as well as the rest of the tracks on this record.

So to conclude I guess the only thing that can be said is Holy Shit!, it is really a hard thing to find in music these days the kind of emotion and idea that has gone into this and as such it feels as if this record has something more to give but I don't know what. None the less this is a gem among modern day Black Metal and is able to show what it is capable of just by being played, by far one of my favorites for two thousand fourteen.
