When it comes to death metal, I tend to lean towards the more traditional or old school approach. Too brutal or too technical and something gets lost. Crushing riffs, great solos, and evil as fuck growls, that’s what I love about death metal. There’s something to be said about a band’s aesthetic principles and how they tie into the music itself. Whether it be to capture the emotive principles or intellectual underpinnings of an album, a band’s imagery is undoubtedly an intrinsic component of how the music there in affects the listener. On occasion however, it can also signal a change in direction. Death metal does not stagnate in a constant form. Some challengers exist, such as Purtenance.
Nokia based Finnish death metal purveyor Purtenance unveiled about their new EP. Their new EP "Paradox of Existence" will release in 12th September 2017 via Xtreem Music record label. They have released a single track entitled “In the End Only Death Will Remain”. They have already unleashed their upcoming EP artwork and EP name but, we have to wait some more days till release. In before they have released 3 full length album entitled “Member of Immortal Damnation” in 1992 and sophomore album entitled “Awaken from Slumber” in 2013 and last one is "...to Spread the Flame of Ancients" in 2015. Basically Purtenance was formed in 1989 as Purtenance Avulsion. In 1991 they have changed their name as Purtenance and continuing with their signature old school death metal till today.
This new tracks whole composition,production is extremely filthy and relentlessly unforgiving . I was interviewed them and reviewed also their last studio effort. Now looking forward for the whole material release and again review the EP. To be honest this is more challenging for me haha. At first listen “In the End Only Death Will Remain” floored me with their dreaded amalgamation which leads to a hammerin old School blunt force trauma with heavy,twisted riffs, hyped pedal thrusts. Always I looking for this type of harshest slabs of death metal.This whole album enthralled me with their Unrelenting ,powerful,blasting ,overarching,chromatic, chaotic,rugged, critical acclaimed death metal sound and dense musical style and this new album rekindle my affection,obsession for proper old school death metal. This bands each and every musician exudes tremendous effort in radiant way on this album with excellent diligence and nailed it. They have injected brilliant riffs works, dark and dirge vibes into aural bashing,furious,fast death metal with strangulated riffs work simultaneously that burns with oppressive fervor. I applaud this new addition and cite them.
