I have been listening to Malevolent since retribution came out and like most, thought they would never top that album. Well, I was wrong! Eternal has got to be their best album and one of my personal favorites of all time. This album shows a level of brutality and hate that they still have not matched to this day. Jasons vocals are more brutal than Brett's to me, and the drumming by the legendary Dave Culross is UNREAL on this album. I would argue that this album has the best performance from dave out of any album he has been featured on. The guitarwork by Phil Fasciana never lets up and alternates from the chunk style riffing we all love to super frenzied chaos that will leave you shaking your head. This is a great album to bash someones face in to... I usually listen to mostly extreme underground death metal, but this is one release on a major label that should be in EVERY brutal metal fan's collection!!! A true brutal classic!!!!
