Misanthropy offer a refreshing raw, frantic and visceral approach to the tech death style. Instead of playing safe and adopting the same safe predictable formula used by the established bands, they’re carving their own path and going about the style in their own unconventional manner, skittering off without prior warning and swerving violently and just doing things seemingly at random but mostly at break-neck speed.
It all seems wonderfully/overwhelmingly haphazard but underneath the maddening chaos lies meticulous writing and more impressively, clean execution which they have nailed while recording the music live. For that reason the pulsating, kinetic energy on this record is tangible – one can feel the rush, the rising sense of excitement when they speed up or switch things suddenly at the spur of the moment or just resort to mangling their instruments to create the most infernal cacophony. Misanthropy are an ever-evolving band, imbibing the influences around them and freely recreating them in their own unique manner which may not be too straightforward but it definitely makes for a thrilling listen.
