I recently listened to the debut from these guys. I found it a rather enjoyable slice of death/doom. The second album not so much.
This album may as well be part two of Disgorged from Psychotic Depths... just without the hooks and the "it" factor that made the first album so much fun to listen to.
I'm not sure why they strike me so differently. Maybe the transitions from the first album worked better for me, maybe it was the fact that it focused more on the doom than the death.
Maybe calling this one part two of the first album isn't fair. Preserved in Torment has quite a bit more emphasis on the death metal side. The songs are faster, more tremolo riffing. They also are more focused on pummeling your face in with heaviness than they are suffocating you with the intense atmosphere.
I can acknowledge that this is well done, and on the right day I would probably like it. I think I may have just chosen the wrong time to listen to this. Yeah, I probably did...
