Convulse - Reflections

Two years after the release of World Without God, Finland's early purveyors of death/grind/thrash return with their sophomore album, Reflections. Unbeknownst to the band and fans alike at the time, this album would prove to be Convulse's last for almost 20 years. Reflections finds Convulse exploring new territory, as the album exhibits a clear departure from the band's earlier, old school death metal inspired material. Rather than pummeling the audience with blast beats and grinding guitars, the band places emphasis on creating a sense of groove by means of clearer production, softer guitar tones, thrash driven solos, and, at times, a downright jazzy, Black Sabbath-esque sound.
