This is an exemplary split between two quality bands. It’s a good combination of slow burning tension and vicious aggression that nicely builds atmosphere with harsh shouts and screams being unleashed over the ever building and expanding music. Red Shift has the trademark Post-Metal build/release mechanic down to a fine art, with the track gaining momentum slowly but surely throughout the playing time, only to periodically explode with Blackened Post-Hardcore violence. ![]() In contrast to the Death Metal-based heaviness of Dementia Senex, Sedna are more firmly in Black Metal-influenced Post-Metal/Sludge territory. Prior to this split I was not familiar with Sedna, although it seems that this has been my loss as this song is the equal of the previous one. Aggression is still here though, just done in a non-standard way, with even the blast beats surrounded by off-kilter chaos.Īfter this it’s Sedna’s turn to shine with their track Red Shift. The band impress again with their Gorguts-inspired take on Progressive Death Metal, and seem to be slowly moving away from the core aggression of the genre and more and more into Post-Metal territories. The song starts gently, almost tentatively, before crushing guitars land like a ton of bricks. After their interesting début EP Heartworm demonstrated their atypical take on Progressive/Doom/Sludge-infused Death Metal, I’ve been keen to see how their style has developed over the last couple of years. They have teamed up to create Deprived – one track from each band, designed to complement each other, sharing a similar space but from a different perspective.ĭementia Senex are up first with their track Blue Dusk. That said, the death metal albums that defined the decade are some of the genre's best, and will always be the records held most dear by both diehard fans and newcomers looking to ditch their gateway bands for something louder and more savage.Dementia Senex are an Italian Death Metal band and Sedna are a Blackened Sludge band. As bands with blastbeats and guttural vocals became cultural staples, labels snapped up any death metal band they could find, and soon the market was glutted with also-rans and imitators. ![]() Like all great musical genres, death metal suffered when the music industry got ahold of it. Spawning out of young maniacs' desires to take thrash to the next level of extremity in the late-’80s, death metal truly bloomed in the ’90s, becoming the blood-splattered gore-obsessed monolith we now beg for mercy from today. But this only examines metal on a mainstream level – for the underground, the 1990s were one of the more exciting decades, and in no genre is that more true than in death metal. According to widely-accepted pop culture lore, metal was slain by grunge at the turn of the ’90s, only to (sort of) rise from the dead in the form of bands like Pantera and Korn.
