Imbibed by the Quasar - 500 Yards of Shredded Intestine

     It's no secret that I like some prog and some experimentation mixed in with my death metal and deathcore, so I'm always interested whenever I come across somebody new that's doing some combination of these flavours with any skill.

     Enter California's Imbibed the Quasar, a band that self-identifies on its Facebook page as "intergalatic death metal". Based on their recently released three-track demo EP, I'd say that's a reasonable summation. Imbibed plays vaguely grindy, vaguely proggy tech death with the odd bit of warped weirdness thrown in for good measure.

     Three tracks isn't much to sink our listening teeth into, especially given that none of them are longer than three and a half minutes, but it is nevertheless a pretty brutal taste of what might be to come. Check out "500 Yards of Shredded Intestine" if any of that sounds appealing to you (or just if the title "500 Yards of Shredded Intestine" grabs you and doesn't let go).
