All in all, ABYSMAL WINDS have crafted a death metal album with an incredible atmosphere and a DIY production job that works in their favor. While not a bad album by any means, there just isn’t enough here to really blow me away. There has been A LOT of great death metal albums this year. As this year marches ever forward to its own death, the competition is fierce and “Magna Pesilencia” , while solid, is missing that special factor to make it stand out in the crowd.
