EPiphany

by Amygdala

supported by

John Chaos Alexander Awesome Grinding Death Metal:) Favorite track: Twin castle.

tushwintz Fantastic record - stylistically coherent, but varied enough, catchy without resorting to thrash-type riffage.
Short and to the point.
Bryan Fajardo's (of Noisear and Gridlink) drumming is in itself a reason to own this.

Burrowing - beneath the earth Descending - layer by layer Layer by layer Skeletal fragments Forgotten and priceless Descending… Remnants of.... Something unspoken Something once left out of sight

A journey traveling through paths Set by unorthodox dwellings Choosing one fork after another Parallels, parallel A journey traveling through paths Set by unorthodox dwellings To the passable consumption To waste ritual, ritual… Parallels, parallel Doubt is the everlasting principle of hope... Parallels, parallel An alternate reality - where visions are certain Hope is not an equation In alternate realities - where visions are certain Hope is not an equation FORWARD

Dark matters Most of the time. Figments of light Transparent through sight. I see through you I see, through you Thoroughly thought Intentions are finally sought I see through you I see, through you Dark matters Most of the time. Figments of light Transparent through sight. It's always in, my head It is all coming out from my mind I see through you I see, through you Learn the tricks of the illusion of time.

about

"We return again to the face-smashing realm of grindcore with this next installment. As many of you know, grindcore is a metal genre I obsess over, yet frequently find myself disappointed by the average-to-boring quality of a lot of modern acts who are solely imitative of their predecessors. Since grind seems more often built on beating you senseless than establishing a unique identity, I rarely find new grind bands who wow me. However, there are always a few each year who remind me why I love grind — and Texas-based Amygdala are my current grind obsession.

If I’m remembering correctly, I first heard about Amygdala because the band includes grind drummer extraordinaire Bryan Fajardo (Kill The Client, Phobia, etc.) in their ranks. They are one of the bands within a small, forward-thinking subset of grind doing something truly notable and likely to endure the test of time. The only grind band I’ve heard doing anything even remotely similar to the dissonant and technical savagery of their 2015 EP EPiphany is the Blurring release that dropped this year. EPiphany sounds like what would happen if Baring Teeth played grindcore — wonky stuff that’s several cuts above typical grind.

Releases such as EPiphany are precisely why a lot of modern grind releases don’t impress me. When you hear grind elevated to the artistic plateau that Amygdala reach, well, little else seems as impressive in comparison. At just under 12 minutes, EPiphany is the perfect adrenaline rush and cure for your daily frustrations. It’s high time for grind-time, bitches." - NO CLEAN SINGING

What Passes For Survival
by Pyrrhon

supported by 5 fans who also own “EPiphany”

Pyrrhon have created an itch for me that only they can scratch. Disturbingly avant-garde and violently original, math-y and mind-boggling but also humorous (take the brilliant lyrics to Goat Mockery Ritual). Great stuff, this is high art. jenglishlives
