However, there is a somewhat eclectic approach to it all that reminds me of Metanoia&#8217;s work on&nbsp;<em>In Darkness or in Light<\/em>, an obvious willingness to tinker with the sound and even to veer off into almost hard rock territory with some of the guitar solos. A vast array of death metal influences can be heard here as well. Fans of Oblation and Obituary will love the slower crawl and guitar soloing heard on \u201cThe Butchering of Relative Thinking,\u201d \u201cTears of Blood From An Angel In Mourning\u201d sounds like a lost Antidemon track at times, and \u201cApocalyptic\u201d channels the band\u2019s obvious love for the Suffocation style. If you find yourself starving for more music like what Disencumbrance and Faithful Witness were doing with their extremely limited material, Inversion will satisfy your appetite for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But where the band falls apart and veers off into eyebrow-raising territory is one the all-acoustic track &#8220;Thieves,&#8221; a soft track that sounds like a youth group campfire praise song inserted into a death metal playlist, and ends in raspy shrieking over strummed acoustic guitar. Awful doesn&#8217;t cover it; thank God it&#8217;s a one-off oddity on the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inversion\u2019s old cover art (you can still see it on their&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.metal-archives.com\/albums\/Inversion\/The_Nature_of_Depravity\/13795\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Metal Archives page<\/a>&nbsp;if you want to) no doubt ensured that no Christian book\/record store would even think of carrying it, even if they could have got their hands on a physical copy in the first place. Redone for the Rottweiler Records release, I can\u2019t say that the replacement is much better; I\u2019m pretty sure it\u2019s just some AI art from the looks of it &#8211; and as an aside, I wish bands would stop doing this with their album covers (bring back real metal art!). Instead of the original art, we get a woman with a skull-like mask holding some money. Alright, I guess that\u2019s supposed to imply some kind of lust-and-greed style depravity, so there we are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Either way, the message of the band seems to be one of confronting secular ideological and societal attacks on a Christian worldview. Obviously, the album title is evoking a Calvinistic\/Reformed theology (\u201ctotal depravity\u201d), and most of the songs seek to undermine human pride and arrogance when it comes to a life that rejects God. When it&#8217;s most effective is in songs like \u201cThe Butchering of Relative Thinking,\u201d which makes some oblique references to Nietzschean philosophy, amongst other antagonistic philosophical systems employed to attack Christian belief, and \u201cIndependence,\u201d which rather ominously asks: \u201cHow does it feel now on your own?\u2026Does your rebellion keep you warm?\u201d (reminiscent of John Calvin\u2019s concept of atheism as the suppression of one\u2019s innate knowledge of God; see\u00a0<em>Institutes of the Christian Religion<\/em>, Book I, chapters 3 and 4).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the end, though Inversion\u2019s work here is well-executed enough, I find myself somewhat unexcited about it. None of the tracks really jumped out at me, though the band&#8217;s approach initially had me quite interested. It\u2019s not that it\u2019s bad&nbsp;<em>per se<\/em>&nbsp;by any means, it just ends up feeling like a bit of an also-ran album next to some of the more interesting offerings from the band\u2019s contemporaries and predecessors. Still, despite my seemingly harsh criticism here, it remains an interesting artifact from Christian death metal\u2019s second-wave period, and those who love mining the forgotten depths of extreme metal history will no doubt enjoy it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check it out&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/inversionrr.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-nature-of-depravity\"
