From Myspace: "Cosmic Atrophy started in the very beginning of 2008 with the rather simple and straightfoward idea of "playing some metal". Cory and Juan met and decided to see if they could get something to work for them, and came to the conclusion that playing oldschool influenced death metal with a bit of otherworldly touch to it is what they wanted. Fast forward half a year and 6 songs later and their debut full length album is complete. A deal was struck with both Suffering Jesus Productions and Metalbolic Records to release this album which is quite frankly a huge blessing to the CA duo; to have a distribution deal this early is just unspeakably excellent! Now the only thing to do is wait to see what the future holds for Cosmic Atrophy, who are still hard at work writing new material."
I am amazed (and jealous) that these guys already have such a great release under their belts (with only two members no less). I wish that me and my friends were this musically gifted/productive... *sigh*
Cosmic Atrophy pick up where Demilich left off. Dissonant guitar noodling abounds. Don't get me wrong though, there is no sweep picking here.
The drums rock, surprisingly considering they don't have a full time drummer. Tons of tasty fills and grooves, along with the occasional blast. They have an organic flow though, and never overpower the guitars.
Great stuff. Not as crazy as Demilich, but still pretty damn crazy.
Codex Incubo (2008)
Highly overrated, but still good.
ReplyDeleteFuck that, how is a band with 300 listeners overrated?
ReplyDeleteYup I was about to say that. It's really odd i've hear a few people call this band overrated and yet there not known.
ReplyDeleteIt's overrated because everyone thinks it's awesome, technical, groovy, crazy, and fuck knows what other superlatives, yet it's merely "good" in my book.
ReplyDeleteThat doesnt make it overrated!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Radu. While most people are blowing loads I thought it was good. I'm sure their next release will be better.

ReplyDeleteWell, not everyone thinks that ;) You'd be surprised the diverse range of opinions that people have of our album.
Thorgrim dude? Fuck you are everywhere!
ReplyDeleteLike a ghost in cyberspace... Nah, I just google the band once in a while to see what people are saying. It's cool to read discussion of our stuff.
