"...In any context, An Unexpected Reality is a brilliant record by a brilliant band who are pumping adrenaline into the corpse of death metal.

"I can't wait to punish everyone for at least a full week about something I secretly worked on for the past year," tweeted singer Chase Mason as the album was announced. As with these 17 minutes, that's nowhere near long enough, pal.:
