In an era where modern death metal bands often sacrifice the music's essence for technical prowess or sheer brutality, Assimilation’s debut full-length album, The Laws of Power, is a powerful counterstrike. Released worldwide via SAOL on March 17th, 2017, this record delivers a relentless assault of classic death metal and thrash, free from unnecessary embellishments.
Vocalist and founding member Jesse Jardine leads the charge, unleashing a ferocious mix of high-pitched shrieks and crushing mid and low-range growls. Guitarist Matt Chanway shreds with a neo-classical precision that obliterates everything in its path, while bassist Shiloh Anderson anchors the sound with his dynamic finger/slap hybrid technique. Drummer Stephen Shaw provides the relentless backbone, driving the band forward with precision and intensity.
With The Laws of Power, these four Canadians remind us that uncompromising death metal still thrives. Assimilation delivers a raw, unfiltered dose of aggression that harks back to the early '90s, ready to drag audiences into the brutal, unrelenting soundscape they’ve mastered. Prepare for the reckoning.
