It seemed like a good idea to put a new review online… so here you go!
Once you started listening to this album, it’s very difficult to ignore it. “Poisoned Reality” is by no means background music. In fact, I’d liken it to being squished by a grand piano that had fallen from a great height… and I mean this in an entirely good way. If there is a good way to be assaulted by a piano…
Anywho…
This album’s got the works – brutality, aggression and an absolutely downright superb use of tempo changes. All that, and the bass sounds fantastic! It’s really cool to hear it right up there as a main focus in the mix, rather than lost beneath everything else.
Stand out tracks? Yep, you guessed it – there’s a few of ‘em! My personal favourite at the moment is “Post-Mortem Reality”… The neo-classical part (well, I think it is… kinda) in “Return to the Unbeingness” at around (just before) the 4 minute mark is a stroke of genius and the opening track “Kingdom of the Dead” really showcases that bass thang! Oh, and “Cobweb of Self-Destruction” just makes me want to bang my head!
All in all, “Poisoned Reality” is a truly great album. Perfect for drowning out the crap radio station that people at work insist of listening to… Yep, this kind of Technical Death Metal makes Lou a happy bunny! Is “Poisoned Reality” enough for me to develop an obsession with this band? I’m not sure yet… Ask me later 
A rating out of 10? Umm… 9.666.
