That album was a Death-inspired blast of thrashy riffs, blazing tempos and glass-gargling vocals. Instead of leaning into early, primitive Death, as many bands did (and have done since, e.g. Gruesome), Shards looked to the middle period of the band for influence, hammering strands of Human and Symbolic into new, warped shapes. Now their second album, Cold Logic, has arrived, and the band has pushed every dimension harder than ever. Vocals are hoarse howls of torment; guitars are bigger and bolder, but without the raw edges sanded off. With Pestilence-like thrash riffing and even an Atheist-reminiscent free jazz freakout, this is an album not at all interested in pretending to be primitive, yet still very much connected to the genre's beating, blood-drenched heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Subduction \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Exhumed Visions \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Paralytic Scourge \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Aeons in Dis \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Festering Vacuity \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Churning of the Shallows \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Devoured By Dread \u003cbr\u003e1.8 From Euphonic Crypts \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Dominion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
