lallig00d At times it sounds like someone came in to the studio & turned off (or on) a bunch of pedals at the same time. Other times it sounds like someone switched the radio to a different channel. Regardless, I find that these instrumental jams flip all the right switches in my head! Favorite track: Above Snakes.

TheKenWord2017 Tech death with spoons. Bluesy, surfy, funky tech death. But also with spoons. I... I ju... what other choice is there but to fork over the cash? Favorite track: No Rest for the Moral.

Charles Passarell This album is the perfect balance that I would expect from Sleep Terror. A lot of artists can't maintain the balance of levity and seriousness after this long and I really appreciate that this album sounds just as inventive and fun as their original demo. Love it!

about

Sleep Terror return in an all new form with 'Above Snakes', a cathartic dark western fantasy soaked in boggy jams, honky tonk, surf, southern groove metal and delta blues in their trademark style of genre-bending tech-death. The album closes out the trilogy that started with 'El Insomne' and follows up to 'Abreaction'. With a live lineup and a new identity that is a coming of age, 'Above Snakes' is a survivor's tale delivering a focused taste of the next chapter which sees Luke and cohorts honing in on an even more daring sound. This is a galloping wild ride into vengeance.

I can safely say that after jamming this album for 3 years, it is hands down my FAVORITE death metal album. I've never been able to pick a favorite before, but every single thing about this album is just perfection. Flawless production, god-level riffage, ride cymbal work that rings through to your bones, bass lines that perfectly accentuate the rhythm and the riffs, and of course HAIL MOLLUSCA Hatch

Brutal highly melodic blasting Death Metal with some Keyboard-Drama. 2 unique things really got me here: the strong Latin influence especially on guitars plus the phenomenal bass massacre... Friends of Obscura and Augury will dig this. minusoneman2
