Look Ma! No head!
The Project Hate often came across as a band who had all of the elements of a great band but something always felt missing about them that I could never quite put my finger on. Yes, their sound was groundbreaking and they had an impressive lineup but I'm not sure what was missing. Whatever it was, they found it on The Lustrate Process.
The Lustrate Process features the highest number of quality riffs this side of Time Does Not Heal while always maintaining a grunching groove. The song lengths being every bit as long as Dream Theater's while never becoming boring or losing my attention, making TLP similar to Immortal's At the Heart of Winter if it had catchy sung choruses.
As far as the production goes, everything is audible, particularly the bass which sounds like heavy machinery pounding away through your speakers without taking any of the power away from the guitars or vocals, making this one of the best sounding records that I've heard in a long time. Those looking for a kickass death metal record need look no further.
9/10
