Fragmentation // Stratagem

by Paroxysm Unit

supported by

r2 The best brutal death album since The Sanguinary Impetus. Brutal yet astute in its attack. The production is phenomenal. One of my favorite albums of 2023.

Dan Curhan Absolutely batshit in places, but with enough caveman pragmatism to come off as one of the most balanced records I've heard in an awfully long time. The chaotic what-the-fuckery of Defeated Sanity meets Orbweaver with the relentlessness of Wormed, plus some tirelessly psychedelic pings that kick major ass. The production is crisp, clean, and fucking ALIVE. *checks credits...* Of COURSE it's Colin effing Marston \m/

Mitch Mitcherson These guys are transmitting some pretty violent data. Aggressively technical and brutal for sure. Drummer is a madman! For Y2k enthusiasts and people who snort digital dust. I too hear a little WORMED in this which is a plus Favorite track: Shape Multiplex.

zirtonic Rides the razor's edge between accessible and unorthodox. For every off-kilter change in time signature there's an earworm riff that's around just long enough to keep you waiting for the next one. The influence of band members' previous acts is obvious (and welcome!). Favorite track: Self-Splitting Tragism.

mimetic This shit slaps, boys. Badass album one of the best of the year. Not a single weak track here. FFO; Wormed, Defeated Sanity, Edenic Past Favorite track: Self-Splitting Tragism.

Some bands have struggled since the old spicy cough came along, but Krallice have absolutely flourished, releasing 5 albums in the last 3 years. It’s one thing to be prolific like they have, but one could argue that these last few albums are among the bands best work to date. So when they went and dropped this album on us, It’s fair to say that I was rather fucking excited. And my god is it good. Even when writing synth heavy instrumentals they know how to draw the listener in. A special band dissonant_ways
