​Frakasm
Century Of Decline
Great Dane Records

Picture
Frakasm was founded in 2015 in France, so it is quite new band that quickly debuts their first album Century Of Decline in current year.
 
They have very death metal album cover that matches music pretty accurately. Lyrical themes are about general fall down of humanity that leads to decadence through depravity, degeneration and immorality...
 
Album consist 8 decent death metal songs that sound brutal  but the band go further and spread a little guitar melodies in fairly technical songs. Frakasm keeps their music on well known death metal patters that I heard few times before but their songs are original, composed by people with different influences so music does not sound like a one concrete album I possibly know. Even if Century Of Decline reminds me about the bands like Suffocation, Decapitated... Still, Frakasm deals with death metal of their own creation. They kill music stagnation, their songs have tempo changes, brutal but different sounding vocals and they have a good habit of surprising me, like idea wise. All those technical guitar passages in each song that incorporates complex drumming are the ones I like the most and I can tell you they have it a lot in this album.
 
 It`s so hard for many bands out there to come up with something completely new in death metal nowadays and in my opinion Century Of Decline is kind of that album but good one.
