That's OK though, because you can always dismiss it as 'crap' or 'noise'.

Albums Lowest Common Denominator, Collapse Into Despair

Press Reviews Well, well, well. The beast from the East returns. As if their pummeling last record “Collapse Into Despair” [CoC #37] wasn’t enough brutality for us Canucks to handle, Halifax, Nova Scotia heavies Dichotic return before the millennium with a totally barbaric assault of death metal madness. While equally as abrasive as Collapse Into Despair, Lowest Common Denominator is ten times more violent, with bottom of the barrel vocals meshed with razor-sharp riffs and tuned-down production encouraging this release to rip us apart. The band shows no remorse for what they end up doing to you with this harmful record. If you’re craving brutal death metal, then this is the ticket. Yet again another great unknown band from Canada — hopefully not for long.- Adrian Bromley, Chronicles of Chaos zine
