COPROCEPHALIC - The Oath Of Relinquishment

Coprocephalic is a three piece brutal death metal band from Taiwan, Tapei. Founded in 2012. Members are Christiani Peluso - Guitars, Writing, Lyrics, Larry Wang - Vocals, Lyrics, Hsuan Liu - Drums

The Oath Of Relinquishment album released on July 31 2014 under Lacerated Enemy Records. A well polished slab of pure brutality. In terms of production this one is top notch. Guitars have heavy and crushing tones and are very clear and distinct distortion. Bass lines are destructive and keep up well with the complex guitar arrangements. Drums sound sick and devastating, solid production in all its dynamics. Vocals are on the low end guttural and fit perfectly with all the chaos being expressed.

The albums is comprised of many complex arrangements but not overdone. One can still easily get into the madness they are creating. I really enjoyed each and every track but some of the ones that really stuck in my mind would have to be Retunding Our Humanity (feat. Blue Jensen), the rhythms are catchy and I found myself moving my head on several parts. Galerians (Interlude), this one is an instrumental but its creepy and really has a way of wrapping itself inside your head and ripping your mind with its eerie tentacles. Desolation Of Conjoined Embodiment (feat. Angel Ochoa) begins like an opening to a horror movie then into some grinding drums followed by fast arpeggio work by the guitars. Oracles From The Netherrealm, I really enjoyed the way each pattern in the composition led you through some twist and turns, this one is pure relentless brutality and should be played many times. In conclusion, the album is brutal, complex, technical and melodic at times. It really set a new level as far as BDM is concerned. Any fans of the brutal death metal scene should add this album to their collection. ~Artemortifica.

Ashes of the Forgotten - Dark Aeons

Ashes of the Forgotten is a four piece band from Dallas, TX. Members are TJ - Vocals, Conner- Guitar, Chase - Guitar, Tony - Drums, Max - Bass. Genre is described as Extreme Metal/Death Metal/Deathcore.

Dark Aeons EP released under ATP records on April 19 2014. A solid production. Heavy and distinct guitar tones, crushing bass rhythms, strong drums and low to mid guttural vocal ranges. The opening track "The Void", grabs my interest right away, an eerie melodic piece. Keys with an over-layed storm sample is very well composed and memorable. Simple and effective writing style, no over complex rhythms. Hints of Lamb of God or Meshuggah in a few of the tracks but they keep their own flavor happening through out. 

Although I enjoyed the entire ep, some of the more stand out songs for me would have to be "Forty Two", for its catchy rhythm and stomping bass lines, it makes you want to headbang and punch things. Depraved Awakening, for its fast and devastating feeling, I really enjoyed the double kick work being projected by drummer Tony on this particular song. I also liked the dual high and low vocals verses, they are well placed and easy to remember. In conclusion, the ep is a great debut for the band and they have much to offer from heavy to melodic compositions, you are bound to find something to please your ears in each song. I look forward to what they will create in the future. Be sure to check out their music at ashesoftheforgotten.bandcamp ~Artemortifica.

Foul Body Autopsy Release Explicit New Music Video

Via FuturePR: In an ode to industrial farming and the animal cruelty that goes alongside it, one man army Foul Body Autopsy has released an explicit new music video for the title track from forthcoming EP 'So Close To Complete Dehumanization'.

"The video was shot in the attic where I work," laughs founder Tom Reynolds as he explains how his employer lets him make death metal videos in the workplace.

"The video follows the concept of the EP which is to shine a light on the routine cruelty that goes on in industrial farming. The song itself is about how people can turn a blind eye to the suffering that goes on in industrial farming and how it is destroying the environment, people's health, the animals and finally the mental health of the workers in the factory farms."
