I think it's hard to deny the sheer quality of the songwriting and production here. There are elements of chaos and entrancing arpeggiated passages capturing the imagination of the listener even from the first track. This is a record that plays on the sheer oppression and technicality of modern death metal but also pushes the boundaries with atonal riffs and wide open sounds that beg the listener to delve deeper and broaden their boundaries. A Stirring In The Noos is an album that demands a lot from the listener but provides a sense of absolution in return. It's hard to fully separate yourself from everything being done here, but I know that I can't help but to love the killer tone and devastating growls. It's all you could want from a death metal record.
The way that John Frum is able to balance out so many elements, from brutal riffs to flashy solos alongside experimental moments and some of the best metal vocals I've heard all year is downright gnarly. A Stirring In The Noos promises to be the prelude to a lot more exciting stuff to come down the road. John Frum punishes your eardrums but also reminds you again and again how diverse and powerful this music can be. If you're a fan of extreme metal you are going to find a lot to dig in with A Stirring In The Noos.
