Zealotry album from last year really deserved more att'n/love. Crowded marketplace & novelty's always gonna rule over known quantities but it's a thoughtful, focused, beautifully played death metal album with some Roger Patterson-endebted workouts in the breaks here and there and some really cool little decorative touches -- choral vocals on one track, an acoustic interlude on another (they did that on their previous too iirc and it's something I always like in DM albums).
