Exocrine
Ascension
Great Dane Records
Great Dane Records has a good taste in death metal and I will be reviewing their French band Exocrine.
This is a second album from them and if you like a term technical death metal then you are closer to sympathize to finest songs you could hear for a while. It is not they escalate technicality of the music gradually, step by step, they do it massively at every point of the album from start to the end. It is their pure intensification of various guitar ideas on absolutely cosmic-like level. There is no special pattern in the music they might follow but this is just great, because literally with each seconds they amaze me by complexity and variations of different riffs. Performance of the songs is striking and splendid. They put here pretty high standards for themselves, to push the songs as far as they can, technically. Still, it`s not colliding with my understanding of the album, which even if so tense, it is remarkably magnificent and enjoyable.
This is by any meaning death metal album, so are the vocals, drumming and the sound which they fit perfectly to their very own kind of music. I am glad that even if Ascension is so technical they did not lost brutality and clarity of the music at all. I could relate them to Psycroptic, Vektor, Beyond Creation if you will but Exocrine has their own concept and universe that I am likely to relate to without doubt.
The album cover and song tiles suggest their sci-fi lyrical themes and so is often the music, wisely composed and executed.
Exocrine is my discovery of the year so far. Check them out.
