Chain of Balance manages to accomplish technicality without sacrificing brutality. Perhaps the recording is a bit too polished, for example the obviously pre-programmed drums. But Endless Affliction's first album remains their best IMO. Tamas

So, technical death metal often feels like quite the slog (or show-off), if the song writing skills / self-control of the band are not that high. This album is not a drag at all. Listening to this, even though it is top-notch-busy tech-death is way more calming than even trying to pronounce the band's name. Reminds me of Necrophagist quite a lot, which is one of the biggest achievements a tech-death-band can achieve in my book. Even the 5 minute ambient outro passes by in a few heartbeats. David Fischer
