HORRIFYING - Altered States Fermentation (12" MLP on Black Vinyl)
Chile | Death
Detailed Description
Continuing that infernal melodic sensibility endemic to the Chileans that in some ways is the predecessor of the Swedish and Finnish approach, Horrifying's latest is heavily derived from older American death metal forms like Autopsy, early Sadistic Intent, pre prog metal era Death, and Dawn of Possession era Immolation but with more chaotic riffing patterns that frequently break into frenzied upper register flailing. This EP works on a juxtaposition of melodies between more subdued lower register rhythmic muscle forming the muscular and skeletal framework of a song out of which sudden streams of arching melodies erupt geyser-like in bloody coiling streams. This is comparable to say, Dismember or Prosanctus Inferi's last album though Horrifying differ sharply with a more elongated approach to composition that gives these melodies considerably more breathing room than either of those two ever used.
