Whoops! What’s that? Just dropped in, this CD is already over! 10 minutes these five guys need for 8 tracks, whereas the running time ranges between 7 seconds (7th Target) and 2:15 maximum (Man Is The Harvest). And I expected a full-time record (no info sheet)…

In this short time fast and harsh yet groovy (American) death metal with a grinding edge gets offered, displayed in raving blast parts. It’s just too bad that such fare is well-known for years from bands such as Napalm Death or Terrorizer (in the beginning). So, for a first sign of life I would have liked to get something more inventive from this Swedish powerhouse, especially, since there are skilled and experienced musicians at work (former Unmoored and Carnal Forge members).
So much the worse is that Fallen Man Collection also cannot offer much in quantitative aspects. I not even would handle this one as an EP with a good conscience, although the song material is pleasing.

Ergo: this record is nice but everything than essential. As for me, just a 6.5 rating. But I guess, with the first full-length these guys will wind up other sites, especially since the revolving door in QUEST OF AIDANCE turns busily…
