..::OPIS::..

Trzeci album nowojorczyków z Malignancy. Ekstremalnie brutalna dawka technicznego death metalu!

Dla fanów MORTICIAN, SUFFOCATION, DYING FETUS, DEVOURMENT, WORMED.



Originally I started listening to this album thinking that I am going to hate it. Why? Because it's different and for a cult classic band such as Malignancy that already put out a handful of amazing releases, it's not always the best idea to change sound and style. While I was listening to this release for the first 1-2 times I thought this was just a toned-down version of Intrauterine Cannibalism when in reality this is much much more than that.

First things first, Roger is back in the band although this time he takes up the bass duties and leaves the drumming to Mike Heller. The fact that he is back in the band didn't really excite me all that much until I heard the amazing bass sound they are working with. It's loud, it's fast and it's an all-around amazing piece of a technical element that they managed to sneak into their mostly riff-heavy music. The riffs on this record are even better than they were on Inhuman Grotesqueries since they are actually a lot more memorable than they were on the previous record. I think at this point in their career it's pretty obvious that Danny Nelson's vocals are always top-notch both in terms of brutality and variety. This doesn't change this time either. The really low and guttural growls sometimes mixed with the high-pitched screams of this guy is just insane.

To start of the album, we get a strange intro with a bunch of samples cut together, but luckily Roger didn't bring along his Mortician style, so this intro sits well below 1 minute and the only purpose of it, is to lead into Type Zero Civilization (which starts of with one of the greatest screams you will hear from the band). It's a fast-paced track as usual, and the riff with the technical "seasoning" is a real treat to my ears. If you were to compare this song to anything from their debut album you would hear how they evolved over time. The vocals are "cleaner" just like the production, the bass is even louder, the riffs that were mostly chugging brutal death metal riffs are now switched to technical death metal riffs with occasional chugs here and there. It's kinda funny how the slam elements are basically the only thing that hasn't changed over 13 years. Yes, they are still here, but this time they make a strong presence. Breakdowns here and there, but nothing deathcore level of time-wasting, so they don't end up being all that annoying.

The band also managed to take up a new habit. They actually made songs longer than 4 minutes!!! 2 of them to be exact. While the first one Separatists is also a riff-heavy track (at least from my point of view) it starts out with an amazing acoustic intro and goes into few licks which turns into a breakdown soon enough. After that breakdown, the rest of the song is a lot better to be fair. The second 4-minute song, on the other hand, is a lot less interesting. The Breach starts off with a break-neck speed riff, but it quickly transforms into some technical wankery (and not the good kind of tech-wankery). It could have used less technical riffs and more of the already amazing high-pitched screams and we would have gotten an amazing song, but in this case, we just got a song that should have been 2 minutes but is 4 minutes and it's not necessarily able to fill up this time period.

Overall other than the very last track, this album is all killer, no filler. Every second of it screams that it was made by the very best and at this point, 3 full-lengths, 2 EPs and 2 splits into their career I can safely say they are one of the best (if not the very best) and most consistent brutal death metal band ever.
