God I love those melancholic tunes. I think the tension that is built up with such well paced development is truly cathartic and euphoric. Arcem never rush and put their personal twist on established post metal tropes and deliver a truly liberating experience.
What an intense ride. I couldn’t stop but thinking of Phil Anselmo, Fear Factory, Alter Bridge sometimes. And a very cute accent of the singer adds to the charm too
For black metal there is Botanist, for industrial - Author&Punisher, and now we have Undesiccated for grindcore - Epiphytic is just jaw dropping. It manages to combine all the classic grindcore parts and innovative approach to mixing and adding “hooks” to the songs.
An unexpected combination of uptempo techno and a hearse with a surprise appearance of death metal vocals and heavy guitar riffs. Music to dance to and also to get buried to.
