Since I mentioned them previously, here's an earlier release from the library.

It is so close to pure death that it is better to call it death metal with melodic death elements.

Rough, fast, aggressive. Somewhat chaotic and changing but not hard to follow.

Rare violin inclusion is curious but doesn't work that well.

Overall, I'm not a big fan of this release: no catchy riffs or memorable melodies for me.

But I like the track The Scar. Pleasant crunchiness, simple but good structure, meditative and even somehow captivating.
