There's something charming about bands that don't give a shit what you like and just do their own thing. Is it death metal? Grind? Tech hardcore? Who the fuck knows? It's fun though. Ghuughra
Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be. sachavonkarl74
Oh, this album annihilates. My inner Gorguts fan was floored at Mike's wailing vocals, the warping guitar trickery, and the heavy violence of the dissonant drums. But let's not forget the bass! It hides, slithering about during the brief downtime sections, and appears in full force, creating a layer of hollowness in contrast to the sharp guitars. What an excellent album! Frankly, I loved Malignant Reality, but I adore the power and prowess of this album. A new disso-death standard has been set! barlface
