Death metal quartet Aberration hail from Minneapolis but their music sounds like it comes straight from Hell. They are locked and loaded to release Refracture, their first proper full-length, which arrives next month. The album information lists Portal, Antediluvian and Altarage as reference points but what Aberration play is more twisted than that; take a listen to “Interstitial Enmity.”
It takes a couple listens to fully grasp what Aberration are doing on the track; at times, harsh feedback runs into the riffs and drums, making it feel as though the band is creating sonic illusions. Drummer EC is like a machine throughout, keeping the time as his bandmates create all manner of racket. In such a chaotic band, having a noticeable, steady drummer makes a significant difference.
“For our debut full length we wanted to create something that is equals part death metal, atmosphere, raw machinery and chaotic hell,” Aberration tell Decibel. “Throughout the album, these elements ebb and flow to be ‘dynamic’ and ‘Interstitial Enmity’ is a great example of that: brutal dissonance gives way to plodding drawn out atmosphere and ends with droning mechanical groans that morph into a chaotic hellscape.”
Check it out at the link below; Refracture is out on Sentient Ruin on March 22.
