Listening to Decoherence is like flying a spacecraft straight into a black hole of infinite unworldly chaos and in the process losing all your sanity. The band’s style of black metal mixed with terrifying industrial elements is an extremely potent blend of vicious mind-altering music. Their sophomore release, “Unitarity,” is another journey into the cosmic gateway of unpredictable and volatile sounding landscapes that fans were introduced to on the band's debut album, "Ekpyrosis."
This multinational extreme metal act teams up with Sentient Ruin once again to unleash a blistering album full of hellish creativity that few artists are able to convey in such compelling fashion. The band’s debut album was an unbelievable effort that demonstrated an erratic, yet determined band looking to carve their own bloody mark into the extreme metal world by presenting a unique blend of blackened sounding terror.
The first song off of the album, “Final Boundary State,” is a merciless assault of aural terrorism and comes crashing through the speakers like a tsunami of raw distortion. I was instantly drawn to the band's savage guitar work as well as the monstrous drum parts. The band’s vocalist adds to the nightmarish sounding musical landscape by providing some tormenting growls that echo with great disgust across the cataclysmic arrangements. Track number two, “Equilibrium Unreached,” is another ruthless piece of music containing even more menacing riffs of inhumane nature. As the song progresses the band seems to thrive on the music's diabolical energy, thus allowing them to fiendishly construct even more abhorrent compositions.
Another area of this album that stands out is when the band incorporates these tranquil atmospheric moments that eventually transition into a firestorm of blackened industrial devastation. Songs like, “Metastable Phase Transition” and “Remnants,” begin with such mesmerizing sounding arrangements that soon become washed away in an avalanche of paralyzing guitars and ear shattering drums. Some bands try to do this style and end up making a flaming heap of instrumental trash, while Decoherence skillfully constructs these wicked pieces of mind-bending brutality.
Once again, Decoherence conjures forth a sinister release that twists the minds and decimates the ears of all those who desire some malevolent sounding music. This group is yet another Sentient Ruin band that understands what is necessary to make a quality sounding release that leaves an impact on the listener. While some black metal bands just put on the corpse paint and crank out the same generic riff structures to the point of sheer obnoxiousness, Decoherence takes you on a blackened space odyssey into a starless void of indescribable celestial horror. Now that is something we can all get behind, otherwise you can be tied to a rocket and launched into space!
