Monstrosity - Millenium

Sorry it's been forever since my last post, but I was on a short vacay to the Big Island.  I didn't post about it because I figured no one would care.  No pictures or anything, just use your imagination for what it was like.

This brings us to the end of highschool week at triple B.  I bought this album sometime in junior or sophomore year (not really sure), but I'm sure the purchase was partly due to George Fisher being their vocalist at the time (which should be considered a drawback).  Thankfully, this is arguably Fisher's best performance, so he's not nearly as annoying as he would become in the next few years.  Once you get past the vocals though, you'll find a bountiful booty of supremely technical and very musical Death Metal.  The riffs, the beats, and just the synchronization of all the instruments are surgically precise.  All of this technical precision is spearheaded by the insanely tight and dynamic drumming of Lee Harrison, who ironically didn't drum, but played guitar for Prog-Death gods Atheist.  "Tight" playing might seem ultra-common today with all these so called "progressive" Deathcore bands, but Monstrosity were (and still are) even tighter, before Beat Detective and time-editing software even existed.  They did this shit for real. 

Death Metal fo' real
