Origin – Echoes of Decimation (Relapse Records)
Brutal death/grind in the vein of Commit Suicide, Neuraxis, Dying Fetus, and the such. Even reminds me of Psycroptic at times. Chaotic death metal with growled/shrieked vocals (from three dudes), machine-gun drumming, and crazy guitar wee-weedling. Incredibly intense and brutal, powerful and technical and complex and intricate, it’ll have you going back for more every time.
Tracks:
1) Starts out with no mercy, and works its way through some menacing riffs and techy guitar parts.
2) More midtempo and a little held back, but has some great vocal parts with accompanying DEP-like guitars.
3) Siren-like guitar playing, with barked vocals, I can imagine the singer foaming at the mouth.
4) Some neat, part-thrash, part-Psyopus guitars, and then some incredible runs that create the effect of melody.
5) FCCs.
6) FCC (“you’re fucked” at –3:28), but otherwise the best song on the album, complete with spidery guitar parts and palm-muted, power-chord breakdowns.
7) Short, with the same spidery guitar parts from the previous song, and with a uber-guttural vocal line.
8) A sort of call-and-response verse, with a very constant machine gun firing in the background. The solo and guitar harmony parts are pretty damn cool and original.
9) More standard NYDM sound. Ends with 0:30 of nature sounds.
