This is easily the technical guitarists' preferred death metal album; the guitars here are devoid of simplicity. Every phrase presented is a complex guitar technicality, we wonder how a very angry mind managed to be very skilful throughout the songs but some people are such manifestations. The drum & bass are also equal to the task & this made Entity a balanced release considering no individual took center stage here. Unlike Antithesis, the band was reduced to a recording trio with vocal duties shared between Paul Ryan (guitars) & Mike Flores (bass) which invoked the effective partnership of Napalm Death's Barney Greenway & Mitch Harris in giving that contrasting variety. However, I don't quite fancy the guitar tones on offer, it's my personal dislike for an ampless recording, but if it works for the band, doing something else would undermine the appeal more than anything else.

didnt hear the entire album but dont u think they sound somewhat similar to obscura's cosmogenesis album??
they have a similar playing style. it's like the blues- the people who play blues sound like that.

gonna try listening again. Last time it was too much for me. Can't remember what album.
doc: from your statements thusfar, it seems that you have a limit of acceptance; some stuff are just beyond your tolerance...
