I really liked Engineering the Dead. It didn't invent any wagon parts. Still, there was a lot to be said for standing out at that time. Worcester, MA was local and Ogre stacked the Metal & Hardcore fest to bring with sound alikes. Shitty local Metalcore Band and Bad, Just Plain Bad, Death Metal Act took many forms yet made up a fair chunk of each day. Dudes fucking burnt me out. My Metalcore aversion is still a thing 15+ years later. Death Metal and I made amends though. There are albums like Goremageddeon out there. This puppy is vile , filthy, groovy, and very good at changing things up a bit at just the right time. It's the sort of album that builds a rabid following. As a bonus, woohoo nice Carcass cover.
