Danish /
Turkish Death Metallers Hyperdontia are back with their third album, Harvest
of Malevolence. As one of the forerunners in keeping old-school extremity
alive, this promises to be a savage listen.
The band
has unleashed a stream of the album's opening track, "Death's
Embrace." Listen now at youtu.be/nUeBGcYPcYo?si=UdzKrhTX_uG-wobI.
Harvest of Malevolence is set
for release on June 21 via Dark Descent Records and Me Saco Un Ojo Records. The
album will be available on vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital formats.
Firing
on all cylinders from the get-go, their relentless brand of pulverizing guitars
and punishing drums with intricate bass lines cut only by monstrous vocals spew
forth. Monolithically mixed to grant us the most viscerally lacerating blows of
Death Metal might, those who salivate for true morbidity will revel in the
ecstatic putridity that immediately grips you. From the gut-wrenching rhythmic
torment to the phenomenal soloing, aside from sheer brutality, Hyperdontia have
technical abilities that far surpass most of their contemporaries while never
feeling obnoxious with their utilization. Some utterly mad bass guitar moments
or ripping solos show a band who clearly know their way around a fretboard
while the consistently savage drumming doesn’t let the rhythmic battery relent.
As we heard on their prior works; Hyperdontia are a confident and unforgiving
entity and that continues here.
Although
they are inarguably merciless and intense, there is such dynamic strength on
this new record from the maelstroms of grooves to the more otherworldly
sections, all tied together to plunge headlong into abhorrent chaos.
Barbaric and yet precise, each blow lands with ferocity and yet a cleverness to
every moment is present too. If you value Death Metal being of the highest
quality but without sacrificing the true macabre spirit of old, Hyperdontia is
the perfect middle ground and their new album showcases that formidably.
Promising a harvest of malevolence and ultimately delivering much more,
Hyperdontia decimate all in their pathway with some of their most violently
intense and cyclonic Death Metal to date.
