I was driving somewhere once with my girlfriend and a few of her friends, and they asked me what kind of music I liked.
So I played them this.
And they laughed.
Domination Through Impurity is a couple dudes who have spent time in Divine Heresy, Lust of Decay, Lecherous Nocturne, Lividity, & Debodified making a big-fucked up brutal-tech racket. It's pretty great. Endless flurries of notes and scales and brutal grooves, not too far off from Necrophagist.
I don't think brutal death dudes should ever use the word 'essence', though.
Tracklist: 1. Essence Of Brutality 2. Pinned To A Guardrail 3. In Rat We Trust 4. Self-Destructive Malevolence 5. Terminal Gluttony 6. Bit By A Rat 7. Cleanse The Flesh 8. Wahnsinn
Look, no one actually reads record reviews. You just kinda skim through them and look for key words and phrases that will determine if it's worth your time or not.
So here, let's just make this as easy as possible for everyone (cut & pasted from various sources):
*Pinch harmonics *Sweep-picking *John Longstreth *Torrential blast beats *Relentlessness *All insanity breaks lose and mind-boggling metal discharges in abrupt proportions *Aggro-drumming *Matrix samples
That about sums it up.
Tracklist: 1. Lethal Manipulation 2. Sociocide 3. Vomit You Out 4. Origin 5. Mental Torment 6. Manimal Instincts 7. Infliction 8. Disease Called Man 9. Inner Reflections Invoke.
Ripping Razorback-style thrashy goregrind, for the slasher film obsessed.
Check this out. Micheal Bay's got NOTHING on these special effects.
Tracklist: 1. Warning 2. Feast of the Undead 3. Blood, Blood, and More Blood! 4. Grinding Up the Dead 5. Bloodthirsty Butchers from Beyond 6. Flesheaters from Outerspace 7. The Gruesome Gorehounds 8. Infested with Worms 9. The Cult of the Cannibal Freaks 10. I Rip Your Flesh 11. Gobble Up Your Guts 12. The Slaughterhouse 13. You Are What We Eat! 14. Werewolf a-Gore-Gore 15. Kill! Kill! Kill! 16. A Brutal Orgy of Ghastly Terror! 17. Awakening the Beast 18. Insane for Gore 19. (No Name) 20. I Said... Murder! 21. Dr. Cannibal 22. A Happy Ending Invoke.
I dunno how you feel about it, but frankly, this band wasn't good until now.
Maybe it's the new lady with the brutal voice.
Tracklist: 1. Timelord Zero (Chronovore) 2. Apocalypse Now (Loneliness Of The Long Distance Drug Runner) 3. Dick To Mouth Resuscitation 4. Moral Distortion 5. Hung From The Rising Sun 6. First National Stem Cell And Clone 7. Question Of Integrity 8. Timelord Two (Paradoxical Reaction) 9. Trauma Queen 10. White On White Crime 11. Druggernaut Jug Fuck 12. Ex-Cop 13. Flamingo Snuff
Tracklist: 1. Nailed Fucking Shut 2. Hypocritical Persecution 3. A Hearse Named Desire 4. What Happens in the Graveyard Stays in the Graveyard 5. Killer of Killers 6. Cadaverous Canvas 7. Indecisive Divide 8. A Rather Unwanted Gift
This is assuredly the straw the breaks the camel's back in a long string of credibility-smashing posts, so I understand if you just can't be seen here anymore.
The awesome thing about the internet is that you can pretty much listen to anything you want at any given time. For free. In a matter of minutes. Shit that I used to search for for YEARS in used record bins is now a google search away, so now that I have everything I could possibly want, I end up wandering around the periphery of certain genres and wind up listening to stuff I never would have bothered to actually purchase.
And since there can't be a new Suffocation or Cephalic Carnage record every day, I'll just kind of peruse through blogs and randomly dl stuff that I'm vaguely interested in, just to see what it sounds like (most of it is completely generic brutal death metal, but whatever). Sometimes I'll be completely surprised by stuff I've never heard before (Benighted, Ruins of Beverast, etc...), and other times I'll be completely surprised by stuff that I was full-on expecting to suck balls.
Like Becoming the Archetype.
I guess the best way to describe this band is to imagine a prayer group meeting featuring the members of Between the Buried & Me and the Faceless, led by high-priest Devin Townsend (who also produced Dichotomy). It's simply massive-sounding tech/death/prog metal, completely saturated in the overt and unapologetic fear of God. You got your keyboards, your incredibly strong brutal vocals, and your overbearing, bible-thumping sense of righteousness, all in one neat little package.
And frankly, I don't particularly mind the lyrical content of Christian-themed bands. If nothing else, it's a nice break from the guts/torture/rape fantasy stuff, and I think it's really funny to hear "MY GOD HOW GREAT THOU ART!" belted out in a burly death metal voice, completely irony-free.
So anyway. I'm as surprised as you are that this is on here. But just try to listen to this new song and not get all stoked on God and shit.
Tracklist: 1. Mountain of Souls 2. Dichotomy 3. Artificial Immortality 4. Self-Existent 5. St. Anne's Lullaby 6. Ransom 7. Evil Unseen 8. How Great Thou Art 9. Deep Heaven 10. End of the Age
Brutal death/grind from Germany that blasts and grunts and squeals and slams. Not exactly re-inventing the wheel or anything, but it certainly helped wake me up this morning on my drive to work.
I also wonder if the Gorezone is anything like the Dangerzone.
Tracklist: 1. Knee-Deep In Body Bags 2. Control Us 3. Consuming The Weak 4. Driven By Cells Of Bigotry 5. The Waterboarding Complex 6. Mass Murder By One Form 7. The Privilege To Breathe 8. Archetype 9. Brutalities Of Modern Domination 10. 42,7 11. Period Of Consequences
