Observations Of Humanity
Coathanger Abortions

Through careful observation I find that the band itself incorporates elements of Death Metal and Grindcore, also known as Grindcore. To be honest I don't see a lot of bands that go into this combination of extreme metal but it is great to see this form of music continuing and evolving. "Suffering the Weak", from the start of the track we find that the band have a solid sound which matches to the solid groove and structure of the track, I feel that the band have done a great job when it comes to the track and everything else down to the smallest detail, the only trouble I find is the volume on the vocals, though they sound strong and you can sort of hear them I feel that volume could have been added to the song and the way that it has been made, but besides this we do have a grand song that really shows what its made of, though as I have said before the volume is poor and would have been altered from my stand point.
During "Wading Through Existence" you can hear that the band have a strong MORBID ANGEL inspiration from the start of this track which goes to show that the classic style has not been left behind, that shows that the band have some originality within their style as well as some other tricks that come together in which creates the track we have before us, though at the same time we do see that the material we have here is something different and very unique as it has it's own soul to it and a very raw power which can be heard within the structure of the track itself.
On "Prescription Paradise" there's something about this one track that takes the mind into overdrive, throughout the entire record I have seen that the band have a strong resemblance to that of SUFFOCATION, that is if SUFFOCATION were mixed with more grind then anything, but at the same time we do see that the band have indeed taken traits from the titans of Death and have matured that form to create what we have here, I find that with every passing second that the band have formed a special bond between their sound and their way of playing by creating something that is vicious and shows what it is capable of in every way.
The track "Audra Sleeps" by far the most different on the entire record, but within reason it does kind of go in different lengths of the entire record, though not a full song it goes to show that for a band like this it would be very different for them to close on a solid yet very sinister acoustic note, though I won't lie I added this to the review to show that some bands will close on a different yet eerie note to close whatever it is they have.
From the tracks that I have reviewed mainly I find that these are the main songs that stand out most of all both in the creative nature down to the way the band have presented them, within these four are different souls and different emotions colliding as one and what is what is needed the most within this record to be shown.
