What do you even call this? Hard rock? Heavy metal? As a grandmother I am disgusted.

This is like if DEP took acid, swallowed an anvil, and had sex with Trent Reznor

if you travelled back in time with an ipod you could probably kill a medieval peasant with the first 30 seconds of this album

Just as mental as the last 2 Frontierer albums but the songwriting is better and it's sonically much more varied. Good stuff.

Hey you like to fuck brains? Cool, this is the aural equivalent! Math-y, djent-y, glitch-y, Oxidized is an exercise in headfuckery, almost going stupid in how hard it goes. It's at times too stupid but eh I'm no Stephen Hawking.

why does this band insist on murdering my ears in the most obnoxiously blown-out way for 50 minutes straight with almost zero slowdowns and no time for the listener to rest i don't understand

As cloakanddagger notes, the songwriting has vastly improved and each song really
contributes to a brilliant work. Opaque horizon is ridiculous. That being said, I think the
years of heavy music have finally eroded my hesitancy to enjoy the ridiculous. Good work.

I?ve listened to a lot of metal at this point in my life?like a lot of it. But mathcore has always been a hit-or-miss genre for me. Classic mathcore artists like Botch and Dillinger Escape Plan continue to dazzle me and anyone who can handle the absolutely outrageous nature of their hardcore sounds. But the mid-2000s and early 2010s saw a bit of a drastic shift in mathcore, in that a lot of the hardcore roots were replaced with a more post-hardcore nature. Bands like Every Time I Die, Storm{O}, and the Fall of Troy all started to play with more ?noodly? sounds and much of it is still great but that heaviness was missing. Not to say it was gone from the genre, but I think a lot of bands saw those early artists and just accepted that the sound couldn?t be done any better so they changed direction. However, in the last year or two, we have seen a drastic shift back into the nasty and heavy original nature of mathcore and this third album from the UK band might take the cake as not only bringing back the original sound of bands like Botch and DEP but honestly might have outdone them in the fact that this is so off the walls and so well put together sometimes it?s hard to even think of this as mathcore. Honestly this album borders more on styles of music like noise pop and free jazz. The instrumentals are so glitchy and so loud that it?s hard to imagine how any of it is really playing and you know that is what makes this album so damn great and basically flawless. This is the sound of computers taking over, and the human race trying to disrupt the collapse.

Same pummeling music, but more variations in dynamics and inclusion of slight melodic bits make this a much enjoyable experience while still remaining a coherent whole. A great overall improvement from their previous outing. I was actually able to finish the whole album in one sitting lol
