ADE Spartacus CD (Blast Head Records 2013) 9/10

Superb album of highly technical Death metal. Featuring George Kolias from NILE on drums, you are right to expect a super fast and extreme type of metal, but its a farcry from NILE, as ADE is about 7 trillion times better than what NILE gave us in well a decade... The first thing that comes to mind while listening to "Spartacus" is the supreme guitar works, I haven't heard anything that tight in years... its simply unbelievable. Musically I could put this band in the same wagon as bands such as HOUR OF PENANCE or even BEHEMOTH for the intensity of the entire album, but is, in any ways, never copying any of these bands. ADE is as far as i'm concerned, pretty unique. You will also hear, through out "Spartacus", traditional Roman instruments, making the whole thing very interesting, unique... This is highly impressive.
