Wow, thinking of the fact that I didn't know these four Czech deathers until shortly could almost be described as a crime. After all, they already exist since 1993, enough time to get to know them. Nevertheless, here are my praises. On "To Kill For Skin", the listener is offered diversified DM per excellence, thanks to decades of skilling. While the previous release was dominated by blast beats, this is more advanced and mature, with many intelligent changes of speed, occasional melodic riffing, and many technical tricks. The vocals are a compromise on understandable ones and guttural brutality, much like it is the case on Cannibal Corpse (with George Fisher on the mic). But don't think that this would decrease the brutality as such, this really is stunning material. Fleshless wouldn't be Fleshless if this was the case. The production is good and very clean, every instrument is perfectly audible and the vocals are never pushed into the foreground or the background too much. I can't understand the fact that this band still is underground and not that much popular, since with this disc they can also keep up with the quite big ones of the branch. Bottom line: I think I made my point clear: buy or die!
