Rare 2002pressing

Monstrosity’s second album delves into several dimensionsvery rarely experimented with before. Were ‘Imperial Doom’, theirfirst album had induced a truly original and brutal, but awkwardlyintelligent material, ‘Millennium’ further experiences theevocatively destructive nature of this genre, propelled byvirtuosity and philosophical vividness. The album is poignant inall its forms, the production are reasonable although one canbenefit from more bass playing, which is reminiscent of qualitydeath metal sometimes. These musicians are very comprehensive, theyknow what they want and thus their sound isn’t the usual technicalpretentiousness witnessed by bands such as Necrophagist orPyscroptic, but although less dexterity put into this work, thereis plenty of room for instrumental technicality aided by awesomefeeling of each instrument. The structure of each track is layeredout uniquely; sometimes you might get the idea that these musiciansare trying to test their artistic creativeness by incorporating alot of different techniques. The riffs are layered outprogressively, although at times usually never reach a climax,preferring to stay at an intense comfort zone helped by theincredibly powerful singing of the now sell out George Fischer.Drums are what make this album true old school death metal; thereis a reasonable amount of skill injected into this material,although some of it is a reflection of how powerful sometimes themost basic drum lines can be without the need to create somethinguberfast or very spontaneous by nature. Monstrosity also helpdefine melody, their theoretical knowledge is apparent as sometimesthis music is a bit like Dream Theatre, although to a more educatedlevel of a spiritual acknowledgement of the music rather than astatic one. The guitar solos are extremely soothing most of thetime, with a lot of Eddie Van Halen touches. Demonstrating again,that extreme metal could be derived from almost anything which haspotential.
