✦✦✧✧ Look on the bright side: if you’re wanting brand new death metal that sounds like it came from Tampa in 1991, have I got an album for you! See the rest here

Origin — Unparalleled Universe
✦✦✦✧ Ridiculous technodeath is ridiculous. That’s to be expected from Origin. They may have taken things a bit too far this time around, with their wankery devolving at times into pure implausibility. The drums are particularly unbelievable. However, undergirding the comically precise shredding is a latest catchiness that feels more pronounced since the band’s last album (2014’s “Omnipresent”). See the rest here
Re: Re: Re: This is the most metal thing that I have ever seen.
The headbanging is appropriately absurd for this also-ridiculous Meshuggah track, and yeah I kept expecting to see fingers flying. So fargin’ metal!
I really dug the Vader album. The Septicflesh was a bit too disjointed, even for me. Check out the new Origin album – tasty!
We’re at the halfway mark of 2014, and I already have enough contenders for the Arsies. See the rest here
Origin — Omnipresent
★★★☆ I’m loving the mix of sensibilities on this brutal death metal album: the punky blitzkrieg approach (most of the songs on here are under 2 minutes each), the Death-by-way-of-Gorguts technicality, and above all the dark heaviness that permeates the whole thing. This is a guaranteed headbanger, a must-listen. See the rest here
