This album is unbelievably good. Powerful nod-your-head riffs in Pavor Nocturnus, Monarch, and Heaven's Deceit, to the powerful epitome of a hard day's work done, Titan, clipping the album off with beautiful lyrics about the sweet release of deathly slumber. Ecdysis literally means the shedding of the skin of a snake, and this is exactly what geniuses Horrendous have done. Their previous studio album, The Chills, was a great piece of death metal with excellent song writing, but no consideration for dynamic range in the production creating a sound we have all heard before and our ears grow tired of. Ecdysis had a booming kick drum and soaring operatic backing vocals that could not achieve the emotional power that they do without the production space created by the 9 and 10db dynamic range this album clocks in at!
An absolute triumph in song writing, mixing, mastering and death metal. A booming grind, with energetic bursts of fire spitting throughout the meatier riffage, and some of the best lead guitar work I've heard in a while.
Not to mention the delicious The Vermillion, with layer upon layer of silky acoustic guitar...
Buy this album.

Unlike the fellow coreans below that don´t like the progressive turn of the band, I´m really floored by its technicality and sense of melody. These guys are the true succesors of Chuck ;-)
