Description
Categorizing what kind of music Hemotoxin makes is harder than it would seem. Their brand of melodic death/thrash springs from a whole host of metal influences: progressive death metal (e.g. Death Atheist) classic thrash (Megadeth Slayer and others) and even some black metal and prog rock. Any given song could groove then thrash then send you through a dizzying labyrinth of elaborate riffs and ideas. Somehow they juggle all these influences and produce from it a cohesive whole while keeping the aggression high and the song’s core melodic components front and center. Whatever they are doing they do it very well and they’ve only gotten tighter and more adventurous as a unit since their 2013 debut. Now their follow-up full-length is ready to be unleashed. At 9 tracks and just 35 succinct minutes Biological Enslavement will take you on a more interesting journey than most albums twice its length.
