This is the second release for the Florida-based dynamic Death Metal duo: Gordon Denhart (Rhythm Guitars, Vocals, Drum Programming) and Michael Kilborn (Lead Guitar, Bass). Their debut, Hacked To Perfection, received almost unanimous praise:
"One Of "Florida's Top 30 Death Metal Albums Ever" " From The Dust Returned
"! tap into the gritty, gung-ho spirit of the best US death metal of the 90s, but there's also a distinctly untamed and ugly underdurrent that festers and bubbles beneath the thick wail of dissonant riffs and subterranean snarling." 8/10 Metal Hammer
"!an example of brutal and devastating death metal from start to finish. No preservatives or half-measures. Don't let your guard for one second." 8/10 Queens of Steel
",,,a brutal, vicious and even technically progressive melodic death metal act capable of creating a heavy atmosphere of quality traditional thunder." ThrashHead
"!comprised of true death metal anthems!is all about being brutal, furious death metal, flirting with gring." Path to Babylon
"This album is a pure riff-fest of elaborately garnished riffs accompannied with delicate song writing and technical proficiency, which can all easily rage like violent storms over a mosh pit. Brutality is not the only thing that catches my interest here, as these riff buthers have also flourished thier music with queer chords and sounds, and thus even when the albums base structure is tightly associated with brutal death metal, an old school sound seems unavoidable." Lacerated Metal Zine

"... terrific album to kick start a career in death metal and in time, Kilborn and Denhart could eventually become one of the leading bands at the forefront of the future of Floridian death metal..." Blistering.com
"!a blast of Death Metal without mercy." FFM-Rock
"Hacked To Perfection is a nice mixture of brutality, technicality and melody all in a single album, and the band displays this through songs that manage to fuse all these elements together seamlessly." Heavy Metal Tribune
"Never To Arise plays an odd sort of technical/progressive brutal death metal that I enjoyed heavily." 9/10 The Grim Lord's Metal Review
"Like a mutilated corpse, it ain't pretty. Unlike a sliced cadaver, this is utterly heavy, angry and monstrously good stuff." Metal As Fuck

"I'm in trouble, I'm impressed, I'm a little sickened, I'm headbanging" 8/10 This Is Not A Scene
"The earth-shaking vocal of Gordon Denhart is in turns frightening, threatening and lascivious, whilst the guitarwork is constantly emotive, yet violent, shaping some memorable hooks outside of the aural battery." Powerplay Rock and Metal Magazine
