Fredrik Thordendal's alien guitar work, Tomas Haake's inhuman polyrhythmic drumming, and Jens Kidman's nuclear bark are all here in embryonic form, but there's a rawness to DEI that the later records traded away for surgical coldness. Tracks like \u003cem\u003eFuture Breed Machine\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAcrid Placidity\u003c\/em\u003e still hit like something that shouldn't be physically possible. The metal underground owes this record a serious debt it hasn't fully paid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1995 full-length album on CD. Swedish technical groove metal.
