Origin – “Echoes of Decimation”
This is not even 27 minutes long. Origin pushes, on the one hand, the limits of technicality, musical velocity, grindingness and overpowering overwhelmingness (Apparently, they make people use words that are not even real.). Imagine the guitar-obsessed heroes just losing their minds and blasting, blasting and blasting, constructing veritable walls of noise and then destroying those same walls. For example, the guitar-playing sounds very ridiculously metal and the vocals, man, there seems to be no pause in the growling from the beginning to the end of a song. It’s a constant three-way whirlwind of growling. On the other hand, the guitar does have an aspect of wankerism and noodling. There seem to be a million minisolos, most of them having no real purpose, actually. Of course, having no purpose is a purpose, if it’s an exercise in the implementation of (non)musical chaos. In short, bands like Slayer sound laid-back, relaxed, mellow compared to this madness. This is too fast to mosh to. Too fast to bang your head to. The human body’s physical response, in addition to being very delayed in relation to the noise, will be in a state of slow motion compared to the patterns and rhythms of Origin. Origin is a ridiculous band. But, guys, you gotta make the albums longer, man!
