Demoralizer – This World Is Suffering Review: A Death Metal/Deathcore band from the Netherlands. On October 5th, 2022, the band independently released their debut EP album This World Is Suffering.
Demoralizer – This World Is Suffering Review opens and discusses the FIRST SIN: THE STRINGS/KEYS. Consists of punching grooves with pounding rhythms, and melodic riffs and bombastic basslines.
Let’s talk about the SECOND SIN: THE VOCALS, which involves enraging guttural vocals.
Moving on to the THIRD SIN: THE PERCUSSIONS, which delves into the vast world of heavy-driven strikes and blast beats.
In our following discussion about the band’s musical work, we will focus on the FOURTH SIN, the overall DISCUSSION of the album. Immediately, as the listener presses that play button, one is welcome to the opening piece, THE STONES OF MY TOMB, where the listener is welcome to an introductory instrumental soundscape opening -following suit with pulsing instrumental of the guitars, drums, and deep guttural vocals…
Continuing with the second piece, UNMARKED, and the four remaining tracks, one will find that THIS WORLD IS SUFFERING not only provides and delivers the listener’s ears with death metal -but an extreme and complex delight that combines elements of old-school death metal of MORBID ANGEL, the brutal and technical death metal of SUFFOCATION and NECROPHAGIST and the progressive death metal of OPETH and DEATH and so many other bands and elements can be found—all wrapped with modern production in sound, that’s clear and crisp, while each track captures that emotional experience of various moods, tempos, and atmosphere for the whole musical and (meaningful) lyrical concept – that is inked about the tackling existentialism and personal struggles/suffering of everyday life.
THIS WORLD IS SUFFERING is an excellent balance between aggression, technicality, and brutalization within its twenty-minute duration brain-master milter and bleeder of the eardrums.
A musical spectrum that utilizes instrumental and vocal art of this perfect creation gives the listener ears punching grooves with pounding/brutal rhythms and melodic riffs co-side with clean riffage breaks from the technical guitar work
The drum work in question is characterized by forceful and intense strikes that are accompanied by aggressive blast beats. The basslines are powerful and explosive, adding to the overall bombastic feel of the piece. The vocals are raw and guttural, filled with a sense of anger and aggression that is sure to leave a lasting impact on the listener
At the same time, THIS WORLD IS SUFFERING is one heck of a release with its dark atmosphere and musical soundscape/spectrum that’s complex, brutal, heavy -neither dull nor repetitive -fresh – a showcasing of old-school death metal with its’ excellent intense, passionate, and immersive musical experience.
DEMORALIZER is a new delight consisting of six powerful, heavy, and brutal tracks and music that is well-arranged and composed; this includes the composing and arrangement of the instrumental/vocal work, which is all delivered by incredible devilmanship, showcasing an exhibition of perfection.
I wanted to share our thoughts and MEMORABILIA on the FIFTH SIN. What separates DEMORALIZER from sounding like their forefathers (mentioned above) is that DEMORALIZERs have created their own identity and sound/atmosphere -but kept their influential forefathers in their musical spectrum veins.
Let’s discuss the ARTWORK of the SIXTH SIN. Old-school, representing the inked lyrical theme
Finally, the review will close with the last sin, the SEVENTH SIN, the DISRELISH. With nothing to disrelish within the musical world of DEMORALIZER, this concludes the Demoralizer – This World Is Suffering Review.
