I used to play Imperial Doom just to hear Lee Harrison's drumming
insanity. He was one of the fastest that was around at the time, and
for pure adrenaline punch, that was the way to go. Well, that can
sorta get old after a while, and there wasn't much else in the way of
song structure there to keep but the avid death freak interested for
more than a few listens. Ah, but Millennium, that's a different
story altogether. Regrouping with new axemen, Monstrosity displays
a technical adeptness which blows away anything that they had put out
before. This stuff is incredibly fast, tight and interesting!
This is the paradigm that death metal should follow. The guitar work is
just amazing, more so for the fact that it's just one person coming up with
the lines. Bass is prominent, vocals brutal, and of course, the drumming
is seriously warped. Very, very nice indeed.
