Can I speak to the manager... because this is to good for modern humans... they will kill peoples ear holes with audiogazams

[@ugmoses8]

Already listened to the album twice today and cueing up for a third listen in headphones. TZP has crafted another masterpiece. I love their sound. It can be challenging to stand out in this genre but they accomplish it beautifully! Cheers for Datalysium!! 🤘

[@louadipietro9040]

They are very original sounding. Refreshing among a sea of metal bands

[@cmd_f5]

They pretty much take all the best parts of the modern tech scene, add some OG spices and it's just awesome. I think I'v spun this like a dozen times since it came out. You can tell a lot of time went into this material. They nailed it.

[@RustyRed17]

Agreed! The Faceless does have some good stuff, but they could be a lot better.

[@CunchwapSupeme]

This will go down as one of the greatest tech death records of all time. This is up there with epitaph and planetary duality without question.

[@longshanks5531]

No, this is not even in the realm of Necrophagist lol….And Soreption does this style better anywho.

[@XueYlva]

@@longshanks5531 I love The Zenith Passage, but I agree with your whole comment.

[@dylanfrey9478]

⁠@@longshanks5531Nah. There’s really no need to say shit like this when someone praises something that actually does deserve the praise. Necrophagist is great. Soreption is great. This is great. Leave it at that.

[@MrNecryptic]

@@dylanfrey9478 The reason it needed to be said was because Sir Crunchwrap placed this on par or above Necrophagist's Epitaph and Faceless's Planetary Duality. This album sits below both, but not by very far, It basically is Planetary Duality 2.0 if it was written by some tech death version of ChatGPT, which they might have been going for so I think it's pretty neat. Had the taco bell menu item simply said this album was great, there wouldn't have been any disagreements from any of us commenting here I imagine.

[@dylanfrey9478]

@@MrNecryptic Fair, but then again, he did say this is “up there” with things like that, and it’s all subjective really, so it very much could be for said Taco Bell menu item. I haven’t really actively listened through this one yet, but from a casual pass through I could see how it might rank that way, and I also agree with your assessment that those others probably are a little better, depending on taste of course. I guess my issue was the other guy’s thing felt just a tad “Fuck you, none of this new shit could ever top my timeless golden classic” and it struck me as annoying if I’m being totally honest lol. Even if it is Necrophagist we’re talking about, we can chill a little bit.

[@PERPowns]

All-time great metal album

[@Skuddbutt]

Honestly im just glad they didnt do Planetary Duality 2 even though everyone was asking for it, this has pretty unique composition and stands out as its own thing, comparable to most to the Faceless obviously but not a clone at all. Super excited to see future material!!

10/10 album, TZP is incredible!

[@eternalbot9837]

That transition tho!!!! Edit: forgot it was the entire album played through. Yoooooo. The transition from Axiom of Error to Algorithmic is other worldly!!! Major goosebumps vibes!!

[@louadipietro9040]

Same thought dude, that was epic

[@luisruiz2446]

Was brushing my teeth as I tore the album and yes 🤯🤯, had to nod at the speaker in a sign of approval 😤🤘🏼

[@tomskimcdouglegaming806]

Bro, the transition from Divinertia 1 to 11 was fucking insane. Made my spine jiggle.

[@liliIiliIilil]

I've listened to this album so many times and I'm still in love with it. So good.

[@tomskimcdouglegaming806]

The remixes are great. The production quality is actually insane. The compositions are mind boggling. The progression through the album is stupefying. Album of the year? First Black Medium Current and now this. It's been a good year for high quality metal so far.

[@MysteryArchives]

Incredible album. I am beyond happy to have preordered it.

[@Demiurge66]

I listen to the album, you can hear a lot of hard work and creative thought to push their boundaries went into this album. This is one of my favorite tech/death/prog albums, up there a long side Necrophagist. Groovy, jazzy, technical, brutal and progressive all blended together beautifully.

[@Demiurge66]

I wanted to add, holy shit I didn’t realize how intense the songs was till I heard it on my cars surround sound speakers, I hear all the little details, the synths better wow it gives you this existential crisis discovering a new reality/unifying and fusing between two parallel universes like the album cover I can’t explain it. This album was mixed and engineered so well I’m blown away still.

[@Burlyx]

@@Demiurge66 the faceless will still be the best with jazz iin my opinion right next to beyond creation. its hard to find deathmetal bands that are prog with jazz.

[@longshanks5531]

This does not compare with Necrophagist on any level lol.

This LP is totally FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Those stops, tempo changes, 32's... I mean, SMOKIN' HOT man. "Synaptic Depravation" and "Divinertia I" are my early favorites.

[@RemmyRiffs]

TZP is just in a league of their own at this point. Another instant tech death masterpiece. 🔥

[@piotrmbukowski]

I'm on a streak of discovering amazing bands lately. Man, your previous LP was badass, but this? How the F you surpassed that? Hats off.

[@KardashevBand]

It's the boys! This album SMAAAAAAAAAAAACKS. Great job boys! I'm interested in the story behind all of this. haha

[@endlessorbaggins8223]

Very refreshing and creative. High level tech. All sound like it was distilled a hundred times, every section and transition is well thought. The music is breathing despite being fast and dense.

[@sarcass]

I can hear a little bit of Necrophagist in some of the tracks... Beautiful 👌🏻

[@ludoecrudo]

This record is the legitimate son of Epitaph and Planetary Duality. I'm in tears, amazing work bois

[@BagusWibisono]

yes absolutely, I meaning like that. Crazy album, congrats TZP!

[@kareltrumm2258]

No,too robotic record as every tech death metal ones today!And it's not catchy too.

​@@kareltrumm2258 For the last few years, I've been listening to way less metal for some of these reasons. it gets difficult to digest and for most of these bands, it all goes crumbling down live because it can't achieve the same feel or end result (There are exceptions of course !). But honesty for this album yeah It is robotic but I find the production way more agreable to listen to than other records. Well balanced, tight playing and there are some nice groovy licks in there !

[@icipher6730]

​@@kareltrumm2258"too robotic" you say. It's almost as if..... it's the theme and the aesthetic of the entire album. Crazy, right?

[@mattk858]

​@@icipher6730burn

[@alicj5806]

Album of the year!!

[@cosmicneurons1311]

so nice to hear non-boring tech death. Some bands do it right. but this makes me think of necrophagist/ the faceless when this genre was just popping off.

[@Demiurge66]

TZP is really setting a new standard in the genre, it's OK to be different, it's OK to add elements that may be unconventional. The reason I stopped listing to tech metal years ago was every band sounded the same and it got boring fast. I hope this album and TZP can pioneer the genre for more creative albums to come after it.

[@SatanicDesolation]

I definitely hear Necrophagist here too!

[@xavierwiseman6124]

Well the guitarist and vocalist were part of the faceless at one point in time. So def big faceless vibes. Closest you'll get in my opinion

[@straygoat4366]

Don't stop. I'm not finished 🙌

[@ngmelville]

The way you guys maintain the intensity throughout, then Datalysium drops right at the end. Amazing work here Justin!

Incredible album. It's been mentioned already, but the transition between Axiom and Algorithmic is superb.

[@DariuszKlimczakkwadrart]

tak się gra nowoczesny metal, świetna produkcja

[@gregangelmusic]

Killer record. Been listening to it since I got my preorder earlier this week! The transition from The Axiom of Error to Algorithmic Salvation knocked my socks off. I definitely prefer drum sound on Algorithmic Salvation on this better than the single version.

[@DingusMcBrungus]

that Axiom of Error groove riff smacks so damn hard, it's like a horde of evil oompah-loompahs squat dancing towards you menacingly

[@rezmetalpodcaster]

[@SkinnyCharlie1]

Absolute AOTY. Nothing even comes remotely close. TZP has outdone themselves. I swear Deletion Cult is one of the craziest things I've ever heard.

[@bcbitchkkv]

While I agree it’s (tech) AOTY and Deletion Cult is the best song, “nothing comes remotely close”? Not even Gorod - The Orb with songs like We Are The Sun Gods, Breeding Silence, Savitri & Scale of Sorrows? Especially the first 2 are already tech death classics imo 😃

[@elguaripolo686]

I have no words to make weight to the quality of this album, my comment just represents the need of giving recognition to the band, and team that produced this whole masterpiece. This is healing and inspiring for me. SO GOOD.
