LP Review: "Zarathustrian Impressions" by Polemicist

Zarathustriam Impressions

Once again, we meet a new band from Philadelphia.

When I was there a number of years ago, there was a scene developing, as based on the records I was receiving, but I saw no evidence of it with my own eyes.

But let's be real, Gritty is fucking metal, and I would go to any hole in the wall metal club with that crazy SOB.

But furry streakers aside, let's get on with Polemicist. In the long standing tradition of polysyllabic names, theirs means one who stirs up controversial debate.

That's damned metal right there.

When you listen to the album, you're going to be greeted by an absolute buzzsaw of a record. They hover between Black and Death Metal. Their version of the hybrid is past satisfying. Consider all of the metal technicality of the latter with the abrasiveness of the former, and you've probably got a good idea of where they are coming from.

Polemicist aurally demonstrates why this music is called metal. This record is sharp, heavy, and will slice through human hip bones.
