Semantics aside, this is not at all bad. The production is acceptable, allowing the bass to be discernible, while the guitars have a raw edge which provides a primitive feel. The drum machine is way too low in the mix, with only an imitation double bass pedal clearly discernible, which creates a sense of monotony and detracts from the far more interesting guitar work. I'm not a fan of drum machines, but they can be forgiven -- I imagine it's quite hard to find a death metal drummer in their hometown of Alexandria, Egypt. Although the so-called industrial bits alluded to earlier are sparingly used, their use is highly effective -- most notably the synth break on "Dominion" -- despite sounding like it came from one of those Casio models with keys that light up.

If Worm were to record in a studio with a proper setup, and especially with better keys, I have no doubt they could pull off something better.
