I vividly recall getting this album and being fairly blown away by the
balls to the wall explosion of opening track Primal, there is truly

listeners attention, not that they needed even ten seconds, but I

didn’t know that they had released music before it simply under the
moniker Cadaver which they then returned to after the controversy this
album generated. When the album was released they setup an
accompanying website which made itself out to be a professional murder
scene cleanup company, it even had a functioning toll free number you
could call. This apparently caused them to be investigated by the
Norwegian government and the band then changed their name back to just
Cadaver. So it must be said that in many ways the change of name is
actually good because this album is unlike any of the other Cadaver
albums (and the only one I really listen to), it has a sharp, crisp
modern sound, the songs are mostly played at a ridiculously fast pace.
I could imagine purists being happy to own all Cadaver albums and be
able to simply say this one never happened. Just like I’m perfectly
happy to only ever listen to Cadaver Inc.
