For the first time in 5 years we have a new album from George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher (Cannibal Corpse) and Paths Of Possession. Corpsegrinder's vocals are just as intense as you'd expect, but they are a lot more understandable than his Cannibal Corpse work. The music is in the Swedish vein, melodic and brutal with thrash influences.
