Split Album [2-CD]

xhrl_ Likely the finest quality Split LP so far in DM. For me, Cartilage are the better half of this smashing DM split, tending toward the heavy & epic simultaneously with subtle musical intricacy. Guitars work in power chords with an emphasis less on faster strumming & integration of multi-rhythm than others, eg., Amorphis. Guitar riffs wander over the spectrum, from simple chunky riffs to more complex, almost progressive heavy metal styles. When at top performance, the riffs are exceptional. Superb! Favorite track: CARTILAGE - Blessing in Depth.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Five years on, and this is still the absolute gold standard for doom infused death metal. Would love a followup or even a vinyl repress. Amanda Kauffman

"Manor of Infinite Forms" is one of my favorite death metal albums of recent years, maybe even of all time. Still, I think I like the raw versions of the excellent songs here even more than the ones on the album. Juan Valdeath
