It feels like Gatecreeper finally found their sweet spot. They have always been a nice solid death metal outfit, but haven’t put anything out that would vault them into elite level of death metal bands. This latest release just flat out jams. They managed to find the right level of groove that makes this entire album a really easy listen. Almost a feel good death metal album.
