Obsolescence

"The guitars are suitably menacing, the drums run as though they're being chased by a hobgoblin, and the vocals sound so deep that it is as though the earth has opened up and they are emanating from the deep. Wheels are not being reinvented, nothing is particularly unique, and Abysmal Dawn aren't going to win awards for originality and daring. That's nothing to scoff at though, particularly when the record is as giddy as it is. Obsolescence is locked into a fairly tight groove, and the musicianship is vaunted".

"It's not mind blowing, it's certainly not innovative, and it's not even an awesome example of traditional death metal. Occasionally it does delve into clone territory with some sections harkening back to Bloodbath and Immolation, as well as occasionally delving into derivative technical death metal. It is, however, a reasonably satisfying affair with lots of great chunky riffs. The song writing is proficient enough, and they occasionally come up with a real memorable song like "Inanimate."".
