Legacy

Joe DaVita of Loudwire said "Musically, the quintet shared Morbid Angel’s penchant for technical mastery, concentrated power, and intellectual heresy, and they probably languished in their shadow, as a result. But 1992’s ‘Imperial Doom’ was a death metal humdinger in its own right, full of promising qualities that were unfortunately derailed when Monstrosity’s lineup collapsed, killing all their momentum." [2]
