CENTINEX - Redeeming Filth

I've always enjoyed Sweden's Centinex, their completely predictable mid-tempo almost-melodic death always hitting the sweet spot between old-school USA and mid-school Sweden just right. You gotta wonder if you need nine albums of this stuff (and with a delay of almost eight years since their last, you also gotta let that math blow your brain for a minute), but, what, am I going to tell them to stop making albums when they are this solid? "Unrestrained" has a great slow pummel to it, while songs like "Without Motives" propel most of the album along in a DM crunch, with a, like I say, almost-melodic, almost-chainsaw guitar sound, just almost everything, kinda like how Centinex were almost a band you loved back in the mid-'00s, and how I'll almost be tempted to listen to this again two months from now. Of course, I probably won't and the band will just be forgotten about until they release their tenth album, and we do it all over again. But, man, I'm easy: sign me up, and I'll probably give 'em another 7.5/10 then, the Earth will keep spinning, and I won't be able to shake the feeling while listening to that album, like this one, that everything is exactly as it should be.
