Black vinyl with printed innersleeve. Limited to 200 copies

Be it the hyper aggressive riffing and drumming from blackened death metallers Behemoth, the classic yet tight riffing of Vader, or the revolutionary tech death from Decapitated, Poland has definitely left a mark on metal. One of the lesser known bands is Sceptic from Krakow. The band started out as Tormentor but changed name to Sceptic in 1995. Their debut album, Blind Existence, was released in 1999. This is technical death metal greatly influenced by early- to mid-nineties Death (the band). Especially the guitar riffs are sometimes very similar to the riffing style of Death but the technical drumming is also in the vein of the most technical drumming on the last couple of Death albums. Sceptic however also shows a lot of original ideas. The Painful Silence track are a progressive track with clean singing and feels a bit out of place on this album. It also feels like the band had problems to write material to a full album as the last tracks on the album feels more like fillers. So the album starts brilliant but cant really keep up for the complete album which is a shame because the best tracks on this album is really great.
