I recently discovered the Brutal Death outfit Absurdist from Maryland and their new self-titeled EP and I was stoked. First really positive thing I recognized was the great sound. Crystal clear instruments. The drums hammering, the vocals absolutely brilliant. A pleasant surprise compared with a lot of bad muddy sounding EPs nowadays. The vocals are understandable, yet absolutely crushing and brutal. Somehow lets me think of a brutalized version of Suffocation's singer Mullen. Earth shaking vocal performance for sure. The music does have a bit of an old school vein, having some pounding New York styled riffs being interrupted by straight forward blast parts, yet letting room for some technical disharmonic insertions and a nice heavy metal steyled solo in
Incorporeal Gestation. Absolutely crazy. The song writing is brilliant, always very dynamic and thought out. Pace changes going from blast attacks to groove ridden NYDM parts to mid tempo parts accompanied by a nice guitar line. The over all sound is just aggressive, brutal and clear.
The sound of a full-lenght, the musical strenght of a year old band. Wish more bands would put out such brilliant EPs. Highly recommended material. Thanks to Aaron from Absurdits who gave me a copy of this.
