California technical death metal behemoths, INANIMATE EXISTENCE, who feature within their caustic ranks members of Brain Drill and Son Of Aurelius, are readying to unleash their sophomore effort, A Never-Ending Cycle Of Atonement, this Summer. In anticipation of its release, today Metal Injection wages war with second movement, “Omen.” A brain-frayingly violent number oozing methodological precision, poise and majesty, “Omen” is brutality incarnate.
Get traumatized at THIS LOCATION.
Tracked by Max Zigman (Son of Aurelius, Smaragos) at Parade Outrageous in Santa Cruz and produced by Zack Ohren (Light This City, All Shall Perish, First Blood, Cattle Decapitation, Warbringer et al) at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, A Never-Ending Cycle Of Atonement delivers eight conceptual tracks of progressive punishment. The follow-up to 2012’s Liberation Through Hearing, which MetalSucks championed for its “eerie, psychedelic themes richly animated by the grandiose contrast between shamanic atmosphere and uncompromising brutality,” finds INANIMATE EXISTENCE‘s signature, over-the-top compositions elevated to an entirely new level of profundity. Each movement marvels at its own innovative density as intricate guitar structures coil seamlessly around complex rhythms and infernal vocal tirades all the while maintaining an absorbing magnetism that draws exploratory listeners in with each new measure. The record includes several guest musicians who offer female vocal accents, clarinet, bass flute, harp, bongos and other nuances to the proceedings, only adding to the record’s already confounding depth.
INANIMATE EXISTENCE‘s A Never-Ending Cycle Of Atonement will be released on June 24th, 2014 via Unique Leader Records. Special preorder bundles will be available in the coming weeks.
