UMUR
"Inundate" is the debut full-length studio album by Swedish technical death metal act Sectu. The album was released through ViciSolum Records in May 2011.

The music on the album is technical death metal with a slight progressive edge. The kind of technical death metal also played by acts like Augury, Beyond Creation and Vale of Pnath. High level musicianship, clear and powerful sound production and challenging song material. Sectu are slightly more "old school" in their delivery than many of their peers and I hear quite a few Morbid Angel influences in the band´s music. It´s not an overshadowing influence but it´s certainly there. At 33:02 minutes the album is pretty compact and I think a lot of artists can learn from that. My attention never wanders and the album is entertaining all the way through. While the band certainly play some really technically challenging riffs/rythms, I think one of the assets of "Inundate" is that Sectu write memorable songs that are allowed to breathe when that is needed. The technical playing is a means to an end, not mindless wankery.

Quite frankly I think it´s amazing how many quality acts Sweden produces and Sectu is another act you can add to that amazing list. Not only are the band technically well playing, the sound production on the album is also powerful and the material well written. "Inundate" is through and through a quality release deserving a 4 star (80%) rating.
