Third
album from Psycroptic but my
first encounter with this
Tasmanian quartet… but it won’t be my last, because this
album is a very, very pleasant surprise.
Formed
in 1999 Psycroptic deliver
the goods here on “Symbols
of Failure”, believe me, they really do. We
are talking very, and I mean very technical and complex Death
Metal here, not unlike German band Necrophagist.
9
songs of non-stop fretboard frenetic from hell mixed with grinding
blasts and chugging rhythms. Yes,
I’m very impressed with the musicianship of Psycroptic…
I
just can’t believe my ears… this music is so fucking tight and complex
that it needs maybe 6 to 7 spins in the CD-player to open up… But
when it does… Damn… this album is filled with brutal but awesome, insanely
fast complex riffs that twist and wrap themselves around your brain.
Psycroptic
takes
brutal, technical and complex Death Metal to a level which most
bands can only dream of. Every
time I listen to this album I discover new things… new riffs…DAMN…
The
machine like precision of the way they handle their instruments are just
insanely
awesome. I’m totally lost for words.
So
I will end this confusing review with a little advice; - Go and get this
album if you
are into complex Death Metal… put on your headphones and discover one of
the absolutely best Death Metal albums of all times.
Is
it really human beings creating this complex music? Or a machine…? or
a…
I’m
amazed!
