Decrepit Birth - Solar Impulse

     Tonight I've got a concise little blast of tech death for you before bed. Pleasant dreams!

     Decrepit Birth is a tech death band from California that has been doing what it does for more than a decade. And what it does is technical death metal that hits an overlapping Venn diagram of a sweet spot: techy and heavy without sounding inaccessible and bludgeoning, not over-polished but not lo-fi either. It's a balancing act that they pull off well.

     How well is up to you. Your bedtime blast is "Solar Impulse" from the band's 2010 record Polarity. This song does more in less than three minutes than lots of songs do in double that time, and it's heavy as shit to boot. You're welcome.
