Info -
Unheralded death metal kings Replicant return with an album that will send shock waves through the scene. They've honed their brand of technical, dissonant and groovy death metal and forged a sound that's nigh unparalleled. They've distilled the best elements of them all into a sonically potent, visceral and frankly devastating album that's perfect in nearly all aspects. This is the sound of death metal of the times - it's forward-thinking, suitably dissonant, effortlessly catchy, semi-technical and simply explosive in its execution. There are various twists and turns that keep things interesting and even unpredictable, without derailing its powerful momentum. It's rare to come across an album that's so well-rounded, impactful and one that leaves a lasting impression. Replicant have not only completely surpassed expectations from people with their new one, but have set new standards for contemporary death metal with 'Malignant Reality'.

For fans of: Gorguts, Revulsion, Norse, Demilich, Negativa, Diskord, Wormed, Burnt By The Sun, Ulcerate

I haven't heard vocals like this since Steeve Hurdle (R.I.P.). It sounds like an absolute caged beast!! Love it! This is definitely in the running for AOTY!!

[robingelebal]

Slamming, crushing, battering! YES SIR!

[Skuddbutt]

these past 2 songs have been so astronomically better than the first album (which was already pretty good) AOTY? most

[jasonberezowski]

Well that's interesting. I'm definitely ready to hear some more. Vocals are just so sick. Love the werewolf howls.

Don't know how I missed seeing this one before today... Great song. The riffs are monster and the vocals are phenomenal. Already preordered on Bandcamp months ago and still anxiously awaiting the whole release. This band really rocks. Ripping death metal. Sweet breakdown midway through. Peace and prosperity to the boys in the band and all those they hold dear.

[stellitacat]

One of the most interesting vocals in recent years

This video is pathetic, but the song is excellent. Thankfully I never cared for videos...

I thought the hashtag said Trans rights and was a bit disappointed. Awesome song though!
