While _A Slight Amplification_ starts off with a death metal guitar line, almost like a more structured Trey Azagthoth solo, and then rumbles off at lightning speed into a inhumanly technical Mastodon riff with ten times the quirkiness. "Emptiness, Darkness, Acceptance" is more in the realms of Cynic without the filtered vocals and atmospherics, setting a calm tone with a prominent bass. This is all until it all blows up into another intense show of blistering instrumental.

This is a band that really sets a path for others to follow with their technical virtuosity, yet they don't throw it in your face. In fact, they are more than happy to play at slowed paces with simple riffs, and this gives the music that much more accessibility. This truly is dynamic metal, and worthy of being checked out.
