Nembryonic - _Incomplete_
(Displeased, 1998)
by: Paul Schwarz (7.5 out of 10)

Here is a recipe for mayhem. Begin with some of the intense Slayer-esque stylings of The Haunted, combine with the kind of precise blast snares that would almost make the likes of Benumb proud, then season with a liberal dose of _Wolverine Blues_-era Entombed. You've pretty much made Nembryonic's _Incomplete_ -- for their Dutch fans there is also 14 minutes of their drunk antics which has within it a two minute "bonus" track. Though not as great as the sum of the above parts, _Incomplete_ is a fine representation of Nembryonic's talents. Nembryonic have that all-out feel which makes Entombed and The Haunted a wake up a call comparable to being injected with caffeine. Not up there with the best, but certainly a cut above the rest.
