Pure Blissful Brutality

I'm back from an absence of what surely felt like an eternity, and the first post most definitely will be the undeniable titans of Death Core.

THY ART IS MURDER



The brand new master piece Dear Desolation is a pure deathcore enthusiast’s wet dream. Everything one can imagine from the genre’s defining usage of blast beats and iconic breakdowns takes place. Vocalist CJ McMahon brings forth a vocalization that feels like a time machine, the guttural energy of his voice bringing back the feeling of those old school deathcore albums. These qualities appear in abundance in the record’s first single “Slaves Beyond Death”. McMahon’s voice bursts out before a metallic barrage of drums and blast beats. Playing alongside a dense and churning guitar rhythm, the track shifts into a dark melody that injects some flavor, setting forth a joyful chaotic flow. “The Son Of Misery” reflects this style, building on varying shifts in tempo throughout the progression. You either get the assault of speedy guitar tones that give off wicked vibes, or slower elements that vibrate with auras of gloom. As one of the LP’s standout tracks, “Puppet Master” is a straight up banger. Ripping tempos meet aggressive instrumentation that let loose a savage energy.
