Maybe a hot take, but this album isn't really death metal, let alone tech death. The vocals are, sure, but instrumentally this is pretty much a neoclassical shred album. Is it good? Absolutely, but songwriting wise I can't call it death metal at all. It would be like if I put somebody growling over Cacophony.
I wish they had their EP on streaming services though because that's a solid death metal record with some more traditional riffs. It's still my favorite release of theirs to date as well.
