With guitars that best resemble the early stages of American legend Death, and deep growls subtracted from the most sinister and depraved gore metal, Cenotaph brings with this, their first full length album a record that helped defined the death metal sound now produced in Mexico.

This album is a perfect mix of every single influence the band had when they recorded the album, the growls at some points can sound very Cannibal Corpse, the guitar solos early Death and the blend of guitar riffs can represent a strong European influence on the song structure; truly an interesting an fun album for all of those followers of the old school death metal sound.

Off course there are some unique and distinctive traces on “The Gloomy Reflection Of Our Hidden Sorrows” that helped defined Cenotaph sound, this provided by the obscure tempo changes and the dirty and “groovy” segments in which the band submerges you in order to help us get closer to the brutality within every riff.

The sound can be look as bad of simply genius, due to the fact that in many occasions the dirty production helped some songs achieve a higher level of darkness and impact while in others it just covers up some great guitar work, so I guess is up to you, for me is just bad production but good song writing that makes this album a very important piece for every death metal fan.
