TERRORIZER - World Downfall CD

New & sealed!

Ultimately, the only thing truly challenging about this album is trying to determine whether it is a grind album or just simply a pure death metal assault minus the guitar solos, particularly given how much the former impacted the evolution of the latter throughout the 90s. Perhaps it depends on what one chooses to take from this album, but even if seeing it more from the grind perspective, one can't help but notice the heavy amount of influence that Slayer and Death had on the shaping of the style heard on it. It's the sort of album that manages to stand tall on its aggression alone in spite of all the expansion the sub-genre has experienced since, even when looking at the hyper-intensity and technical wonders of Dying Fetus and Cryptopsy, two bands that were likely familiar with either this album or some of the other handiwork of several of the people involved in it. No self-respecting adherent to death/grind should go without hearing it at least once, and it is arguably the only album with grind influences on it to own for those who aren't particularly fond of it yet have found themselves in any way interested in death metal.
