Say what you will, this is already a classic. I'm not happy about JFAC going death metal on their next records. This is a musical mess, filled with savage, grotesque vocals (high-piched screams, pig squeels, growling), thundering riffs, fairly simple drumming and a fantastic sense of barbarity and ferocity. Deathcore is meant to be obnoxious and over the top, and Doom is a perfect example of everything people love/loathe about this genre. Sure, Genesis and Ruination are more mature, focused, better technically, but this stuff is original and fresh - the chaotic, unfocused songwriting and vulgarity of every single instrument and vocals are in my opinion a strength. I like my metal this way - different, at least at the time. Typical death metal bands try to be as tight and technical as possible. This baby focused on being primal. The result is magnificent. Just don't take it too seriously. Bree breee!
