I remember when death metal was running at a full head of steam and the music was some of the best at the time. Nowadays it seems like the drive to change things up has really fallen by the wayside. I hoped with the start of Depravity's newest album were going to give me something different and fresh. There's no doubt that the band is uncompromisingly heavy and churns out some solid death metal. But the problem for me was the predictability and the lack of change in song structure. Some variety and changes in pace and structure would really have helped this one stand out a bit. Instead it just blends in to a genre that's become too sedentary.
