The flights of the German group are essentially instrumental, if not completely on this new album marking two decades of existence. The atmospheres follow one another with constant and renewed happiness. Without ever restricting its imagination, LDC never forgets to remain accessible.

Almost 40 years of career, and the American quartet does not intend to curb its appetite for plump riffs and generously pachydermic rhythms. Thus, the ten tracks of Descent plunge you into the abyss of relentless death metal.
