Gloria Morti
Lateral Constraint
Are you looking for fresh, efficient, technical and extreme metal ? Then you should continue reading that review..or go and directly listen to “Lateral Constraint” !

Singer Tinn looks like he sounds in the end: like a real expert. In general the song material is high class, failures are nowhere to found.
