The packaging of
this album is deceiving in its Pantera-like appearance. Who would think that
behind this innocuous-looking exterior is the best death metal album I've
heard in quite some time? "Percussive Control" was a track that did seem to
contain a slight Southern tinge to its Immolation breakdown, however, but made
up for this with vicious riff progressions. "Recession" nearly snapped my
neck with an abrupt transition, but my vertebrae were re-aligned by the title
tracks' slower yet technical opening moments. Fellow Swedes Spawn of
Possession immediately came to mind during the slides and sweeps of
"Elite/Perfected", not to mention the odd harmonic duel in "Rectal Force
Ecstasy", and undoubtedly fans of that type of death metal will relish the
work of Immersed in Blood. One oddity was the drumming of Joakim Unger. This
guy almost never comes off of his hi-hats; trivial, maybe, but very
noticeable. Lyrically, there is enough variety to please most listeners, going
from the occultish "Azura" to the self-explanatory "Supreme Bukkake". A
fine choice by Phil Fasciana and Arctic Music
Group!
