Vitriol "Suffer & Become" Review (IF PTSD HAD A METAL SOUNDTRACK IT WOULD SOUND LIKE THIS)

[@chesterg.791]

The album is phenomenol. Pushing music to it's limits. It definitely takes a few listens.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I've had about 3 solid listens so far. I really have to be in the mood for something like this as even sonically it pushes the limits. Emotionally, this might be one of the most rage filled, anguished listens I've had in awhile.

[@matthewmacdonaldchannel1]

I’m with Jon, here. I get each of your takes, and respect them. But I really, really enjoy this. The tiny latent synesthesia I sometimes experience from “wall of sound” recordings is pure fireworks from this album, and I thank you guys for bringing it to my attention. \m/

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I think it's very engaging and sonically terrifying but it's really something I have to be in the mood for. They definitely seem like they're trying to push the envelope in terms of what it is to be heavy. I like dissonance but for me it has to be more of an accent rather than the bulk of the material. Still, I know this band will find some new fans with this one. It's an absolute monster of an album and so damn visceral it just sticks with you. Glad you dug it, man!

[@12breacher82]

Exceptional album, leaping ahead of their previous work. Exactly what I wanted and without expectation to how insane it would turn out. This is definitely barely controlled chaos of the highest intensity level. Not for everyone; understanding of those opinions. This is the supernatural, larger than life side of extreme metal meant to be unsettling, painful, and caustic. Dylan’s artwork is always epic; I suggest seeing the entire canvas when it is released.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- While this album is feral and vicious as hell it does feel more focused than the debut. The songs are insane but pretty damn tight and I think the lead work really stepped up in particular. I definitely agree that this is not for everyone. This band's sound really pushes the levels of extremity in a lot of ways so I doubt this will ever be an easy listen but it's pretty awesome in it's own way. Yeah, I really dig the art so I definitely wouldn't mind checking out the rest of this piece as well.

[@metaltracker1723]

Saw Vitriol several times in the past since they are local and they are f’n intense. Great to see they put out a new release and hope to see them live again soon. Soul crushing shit! You guys are freaked machines cranking out the reviews lately. @ Rin - belt sanders to your tant! Best description.🤘🏼

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I've seen them twice now and it really is an experience to witness something this heavy performed live. It's such an assault on the senses. Yeah, we thought January would be slow but there's been all sorts of stuff coming out so far lol. Yeah, I think this album put the fear in Rin lol.

[@antondzajajurca7797]

I fell in love with them some 4 years ago with their The parting of neck. Once I heard them , it was really love at first sign. The is exact metal that I like. Haven't hear anything yet from S&B, but I know they won't disappoint.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I got into them with their debut and then snagged the EP. I dig this band but there are points where it's just too much as far as how intense the atmosphere is. That being said, it's really easy to get drawn into their sound. It's like hypnotic rage or something. Amazing live band too.

[@GoatOfTheWoods]

I found this a very artistic and beautiful album. I don't feel it as brutal and thats it. I feel it like very relentless, but with A shitton of emotion. It is elegant and cool, cool as fuck.

[@farmingmetalhead6615]

This is one of my favorite albums of this year. Love the insane blistering speed and atmosphere

[@Clintob]

This album whoops balls

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- This album flat out destroys balls and pretty much anything else that gets in its way lol.

[@Remedy462]

This album stabbed me to death and is still kicking my corpse.

[@eddybrock227]

Something about this album just feels next level🔨🔨🔨🔨🔥🔥🔥 Enjoying how many layers there are to peel🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, this is a band at peak ferocity. It's so heavy that I don't know if Rin has slept since lol

[@guto5986]

A very interesting release today is the debut from Dissimulator, a band formed by members of Beyond Creation, Chthe'ilist and Atramentus. Will check Vitriol out, although the chaotic sound is hit or miss to me.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I didn't know about that one. I'm a big fan of Beyond Creation and Chthe'illist so I'm going to have to check that one out.

[@mojuy11]

Pumped to check this one out, liked the singles a lot. So much to listen to this weekend with this, Caligulas Horse, Blood Red Throne, Exocrine and Cognizance 😅

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, this weekend is packed with releases for sure. I may end up covering some in collection updates in the future.

[@hipbubble7685]

Did any of you have a listen to the new inquisition album? Would be nice to hear your thoughts.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Not even going to bother with that one. Dagon’s a vile piece of shit that doesn’t deserve any attention in my book.

[@hipbubble7685]

@@thrallsofmetal Hah alright noted. I generally keep artists and their actual art/product as seperated as possible but i can get where youre coming from.

[@hipbubble7685]

@@thrallsofmetal just looked it up and that is quite vile to say the least what he was accused of. Shame.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, musically they're solid. I was a big fan at one point but I just can't now. Dagon's behavior is something I just can't overlook. Legit makes me sick to my stomach.

[@magmachambermetal]

An absolute beating! The bar is set for 2024!

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I'd be terrified to review anything that advertises they're heavier and more agonized than this band. This thing is one of the heaviest things I've heard in awhile.

[@AngusMacThrasherMetalReviews]

I love this album and if I had a KZbin channel (which alas I don’t) I would probably have it on my end of year list. Metal Meltdown also reviewed this. You guys, MetalMeltdown and Metal Trenches are the holy trinity of KZbin metal review channels

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! That's elite company in my mind so that's pretty high praise. As for having a KZbin Channel: it's never to late to start. I find a lot of this really fun and I've met a lot of killer people doing this.

[@steazfactor3637]

Not only is this album brutal as hell but it is just dripping in atmosphere! What a absolute banger of a album this is!

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, that wall of dissonance makes this album feel even darker than it already is.

[@ApostlePaulofTarsus]

Definitely a 4/5 album for me. Good to see Rinn back rocking the glasses.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- If it had more straight up riffs to balance out all the insane dissonance on here I might have rated it higher.

[@michaelfishman6711]

Love this album getting into it love the sound I'm pumped

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, this album is intense as hell.

[@michaelfishman6711]

[@ronadleta1541]

Yeah I never herd of these dudes until last year I seen them with molder and exhumed in my lovely city of Cincinnati and they blew me away the vocalist was foaming up the mouth and spitting everywhere it was intense to say the least and I bought their cd and got to give them a fist bump afterwards because they were selling their own merch. I'll definitely check out the new shit good job on the description of their "music " lol

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I saw them on that tour in Detroit. That was a killer show and they flat out brought it live. I don't know if he was foaming at the mouth but his presence and delivery was pretty damn feral. This band's sound is truly hard to describe but I know they are among one of the most intense bands out there right now. Definitely worth checking out.

[@FuriousMetal1968]

I've only listened to this album once all the way through and that itself was a challenge! It's absolutely brutal! It's going to take a few times to peel back the layers of this beast! I don't really have an option yet because it's so much to digest 🤘

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I've jammed it about 3 times and it's still one of the most intense listening I've had in awhile. You can really feel the rage and torment this album puts off. I really have to be in the mood for something like this honestly since it's so explosive and chaotic but I dig what they do.

[@FuriousMetal1968]

@@thrallsofmetal Since I messaged you guys I listened to it again in the gym and I really heard a lot more I enjoyed , but like you said I have to be in the mood for something this intense!

[@blackwaterrust476]

Well well wellll I’m very interested in checking this out.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- It's unreal how heavy this album is. It's pretty much the audio equivalent of being ripped apart by wolves.

[@Everthustodeadbeats]

I’ve sat with this album for a bit and spun it a few times. It’s really good and impressive in many ways. But I think the riffs get lost in places because there is just so much going on. This band is obviously talented though and I could see the right person really loving this.

[@benng4376]

I'm unfamiliar with Vitriol but Im familiar with members other projects. Looking forward to this one.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I know Arkiak pretty well. Really solid tech death.

[@kenshir0.kazuma65]

@thrallsofmetal I just heard this album and it's fooking amazing. This is my jam and one of my new favourite bands. Really reminds me of Hate Eternal and Anaal Nathrakh 2 bands I absolutely LOVE

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, this is hands down one of the most intense listens I've had in awhile. I definitely get big Hate Eternal and Anaal Nathrakh vibes from these guys but surprisingly even more explosive.

[@kaibilbalam7151]

[@kenshir0.kazuma65]

Loving the fact that RIN was in the video. But still missing Shred lord 😢

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Shred's been really busy at work but we're hoping to get him back on here.

[@barsknos]

The first album was "Sonic waterboarding", according to Kyle Rasmussen. If so, this album is voluntary freezing ice baths mixed with choking hot saunas. It's unpleasant, but you kind of like it anyway. And you can voluntarily go through with it and feel better after. It's going to be hard to shake this off the top of the death metal AotY list for me, seeing how last year was AMAZING for death metal and this tops them all.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Man, if that isn't an accurate way to describe that debut lol. He should know though. It's hard to describe the level of sonic torment on this one though. It's all encompassing. You feel surrounded by it instantly rather than it slowly closing in. I think it's well done but in terms of riffs and melodies there's still not much for me to grasp on here and I really have to be in the mood to jam it because it's such a harsh album.

[@barsknos]

@@thrallsofmetal You have to be in the mood for ice baths and saunas too :>

[@vishalnagaraj5343]

I listened to the opener, sounds like what fans of Cattle Decapitation think they hear? Pretty nice

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Maybe? I don't know. This band is so hard to describe in terms of their sound but I know it's on another level of heaviness.

[@rusbell2981]

Lol I've been watching a bunch of videos of you guys from 3 years ago and I thought you guys got a new person lol took me a min to realize that was rin.

[@EvilDeadthe2nd]

This is hard underrated here. I discovery them for a few days and its superb and in my opinion it has a lot melody. The guitar could be louder. Same for the bass. But its not that dissonant like portal or imperial triumphant in my opinion.

[@jboogedy]

As much as I anticipated and like this album I still kinda like the production and drummer from their first album just a tad bit more than this release, but I have a feeling it will grow on me this coming week with more listens!

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, the production on here is very strange and I did think the drums sounded really compressed on here. In terms of the performance he might have brought even more intensity to the band as if they needed it. I'm going to jam it more but this is definitely an album I really have to be in the mood for.

[@lutfimakarim8258]

2024 seems to be another great year for metal as a whole and we are only in January. Hopefully the new Judas Priest will be fire.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, there's already been some solid releases so far so we're already off to a good start.

@@thrallsofmetal finished the whole record, damn that was something. So much going on that it definitely requires more listens. Although at 47 minutes, it could have been trimmed down a little. That's my only gripe with this album.

[@Džejms_Bong]

AN is studio band, they can't delievered it live. You have it in your concious that you're experiencing bizzare extreme music but with tons of studio magic and programmed drums. With Vitriol on the other hand, those dudes are all real musicians so the music is more intense and more fucked up instead of being bizzare.

[@coreycrossman3447]

ok these guys rule one of the best baby bands going right now

[@thrallsofmetal]

[@89gt5.0]

Lol a 3.5 . Hardly. This album is awesome.

[@Yaummers]

I am in the same boat as Rin. Respect to those who love this. For me, it is a little too brutal for me. Not enough melody and groove to be memorable for me. But you all know I am the same guy that cannot get into second wave black metal because it is not very memorable but I love first wave black metal. I need groove and melody in my death metal and there is not enough of it here for me. Not gonna say I hate it though. It's just not for me. \m/ \m/

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- I enjoy for the sheer ferocity of their sound and the fact that they have a really atypical style for a lot more brutal death metal acts but at the same time I need more riffs as well. It does have it's riffy moments scattered on this one but most of it so caustic that it can be hard to latch onto. I can totally see this being an album either you get or it's just not for you. I don't see a tremendous amount of middle ground here with this one.

[@robertsparling917]

The Metal Meltdown hated the new Static-X album. He gave it 1.5/5! And he is refusing to review the new Inquisition and I have a feeling you guys are on his side against that album too!

Necrotic Nick- This was pretty solid. I need more riffs though.

[@StarsDie88]

I like a few of the tracks, but there's a bit too much monotony in the middle of the album IMO.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, I do think the middle is where it starts to drag. I think this could have been a banger of an EP though.

[@TBaggins96]

Very chaotic and blistering, but I do not like the production on this album, especially the kick drum. I get that relentless is the mode here, but a bit more variation would have helped. Maybe they'll branch out a bit more on the next one.

[@thrallsofmetal]

Necrotic Nick- Yeah, the production is odd. It feels really compressed and that really comes out in the drums for me. I definitely agree with the dimed intensity on here. There's no escape from it and it kinda hurts in terms of the songs standing out from one another. As a continuous barrage it works though but I could always use more riffs and hooks to latch on to.
