DEIVOS - Apophenia
Selfmadegod Records
Through the years not only have I been a huge fan of Polish Death Metal but I've always name dropped VADER as one of my all time favorite bands from that great nation. So here I am in 2024 and I've gotta say sorry Piotr but DEIVOS has become my new favorite Polish Death Metal band. Years ago when I discovered em they had a ferocious unrelenting sound which was punishing. And since then they just get better and more exciting to here.
A few years ago I thought DEIVOS's Casus Belli, from 2019, was fuckin amazing. But here we are now with their follow up seventh full length and this fucker is Polish DM perfection. DEIVOS were always, in my not so humble opinion, VADER 2.0. Yes they can provide the brutality, the harshness and their tech death attributes were not annoying. In fact it made their sound far more interesting. Instead of depending on the brutal head crushing laurels DEIVOS, especially on here, makes you stop and listen to their audio war.
I'm blasting this now after midnight and you know it's a rude sound to those uninitiated. You've got straight up guttural vocals. The chugging riffs meets dynamic drumming is devastating. You've got a combo of dive bomb and twisted soloing. Once again the drum work as well as the bass playing is almost militaristic in it's formula. All in all listening to this release just grabs a hold of ya and hits with a surprise or two.Yeah this is why I listen to Death Metal.
