InnerHate - Anthropoexodus
This is labelled as death/grind from Columbia, upon first impressions it sounds chaotic, but you need to listen to the undertones here, as there is a lot of musical expression all amalgamated into one aural assaulting release.
‘Apophis Shell’ is very much heads down brutality, the clunky bass sounds add some texture, but it also lowers the aggression. ’12 hours of Contact’ is quite groovy with some loud slapping bass notes reminiscent of some ill-forged Nu-Metal tunes, but just by comparison, this is not a release of such standards, this is brutal stuff, but there is a danger of character changing the style presented with such inclusions.
Forging further links to modern American death metal, InnerHate provide more slabs of terminal velocity to ones ears with tracks like ‘Updated Parallel Universes’. This again features chunky bass notes, on-the-beat drumming and an underlying groove. The drum fills are rapid, machine gun like and the vocals are extremely angry! You can take what you want from this album, there is not defined “sounds like” appeal to the release, there are bits of everything thrown into the mix and presented in one paradoxical arrangement one track to another. Lead breaks sound like a typical instrumental release, very busy, very tight although some of the time changes make them sound rather disjointed.
This is a varied aggressive release verging on extreme underground death metal, but influenced by 20 years of various extreme music that’s made its way to their native Columbia, but the release sounds as if it is an attempt to cram as much of a variation as possible into one album, that sometimes works but sometimes does not. I am sitting on the fence, balancing like/dislike equally for this release. You need to invest time and patience with ‘Anthropoexodus’, sometimes the simpler things work out more consistent.
