I once read a review where this album was compared to Cephalic Carnage, Ion Dissonance and Skinless. I love all three bands but they seemed totally arbitrary in this comparison. I gave 1000 Doors a try anyway, and I was pleasantly surprised. Not only that, but as weird as it sounds, the comparison was pretty accurate! It sounds like various styles of death metal mashed together with a modern, but dissonant sound. Add a slight bit of late Ion Dissonance chugs and weird riffs but with less tricky time signatures, Cephalic Carnage style experimental-ish death, and some pummeling midtempos. The production is crystal clear and they've added some electronic effects, noise, and acoustic interludes to add to the awesomeness. It's hard to describe 1000 Doors but I recommend you give it a try, you won't regret it. It's also a sure contender for my top albums list this year.
