"Hey that looks like the ship from Thresholds!" that was my first thought when I saw this album but the similarities pretty much end there (if we ignore the fact that they're both death metal bands obviously). Crystal Age was a short lived band from Sweden that made this album and then moved on to bigger (not necessarily better) things. They left in their wake a very solid and intense old school death metal album that has that signature Gothenburg production (and raspy, strained screaming vocals) but it's not that keen on pleasant harmonies. The guitars and drums pound relentlessly with good riffs and fast solos throughout this relatively short sci-fi journey. Nocturnus clone this is not but if you're looking for hidden gems give this one a thorough listen.
