Riffs that crawl and crush like a fucking tank, massive production, perfect drum tone and some of the most savage and throat-rattling vocals around. These are all things that can be used to describe Cianide's sound on 'The Dying Truth' but I'd like to file it all down to one word: Gargantuan. This record is pretty much everything that I have ever wanted from an old school death doom band. It has it all! Punishingly slow guitars, ritualistic beats and the right mix of raw production and crisp atmospherics. The opener alone lends this album its legendary status; as it should be. That's not to say that the rest of the album isn't as awesome, it's quite the contrary actually. From the very first note to the ghastliness of the ending notes this album stands head and shoulders above its contemporaries.
CRUSH, KILL, DESTROY
