Sometimes when I post about something non-metal, like yesterday's Closure in Moscow song, there's this small part of me that feels like I'm neglecting the metal crowd. It's the reason why I like to follow something non-metal with something all the more crushing, and it's the reason why I've got some straight up death metal for you today.
"Absurdity of What I Am", the latest track from the forthcoming LP Omnipresent by Origins, is a beast of a song from front to back. Blast beats and trem picking abound, but the lock for me is the riff that starts around 1:20 -- such a groove! I normally like things to be a little proggier, a little more varied than "Absurdity", but sometimes there's something to be said for sheer relentlessness. Following some funked out art rock just happens to be one of those times.
