Sometimes they grind you into a submission ( Wardead), sometimes the Mid-Eastern tinged riff gives a downright demonic feel ( Hallucigenia).

With this album, Dismember’s third if I am not mistaken, the band perfected their trademark “buzzsaw” guitar sound by teaming up with Tomas Skogsberg and his famous Sunlight Studios. I Saw Them Die is more of a mid-tempo song, while Massive Killing Capacity speeds things up. Both I Saw Them Die and the title track deliver straight-in-your-face and memorable guitar riffs.

Current situation in the world, the winds of war swirling overhead, got me listening to Dismember’s Massive Killing Capacity.
