LP Review: "Their Worm Never Dies" by Contrarian

Their Worm Never Dies
Presently, I'm in a death metal spiral.

The latest releases by Gruesome and Deicide have made appearances on my turntable along with some classic Morbid Angel.

The latest release by Contrarian ranks up there with those bands for me as well, and it wouldn't be out of place to make comparisons to Carcass.

Contrarian take a different tact than many of our modern day death metal bands. Instead of playing thunder and lightning in order to pummel the listener with brutality...

There's a series of progressive songs that have melody, riffs, blastbeats, and demonic growls.

This is the kind of death metal that.

The guitars are perfectly compressed. The vocals are other worldly and ominous. The drums are right in the pocket. The band plays with the precision long time metal fans come to expect out of top tier metal.

An early candidate for best death metal record of 2019.
