Strychnia is a tight modern thrash
metal band that incorporates some cool tech death influences. This is
another band in the new wave of groups that seem to emulate
Revocation and Fleshgod Apocalypse in being technical but not djent,
and I must say, I really like this movement. The playing on this
album is stellar and there are some really brilliant solos. They add
a lot to the music and provide from the oh so metal riffing. The raw
energy in the guitarists' playing is really cool and it shows how
much fun they are having. The bass work is remarkably heavy and there
are some nice bass fills. It really keeps the band steady and helps
protect the rhythm section from collapsing with the hectic drum
attack. I really find the drums here to be absolutely stellar. Even
if the lines are rather simple they have a raw energy and viciousness
to them that forces you to keep listening. I really like how solid
the playing is and I feel that it creates a great basis for the band.
The growls are brutal but pretty straightforward. They are more or
less typical of this new genre of tech thrash. I like them, but they
do not break new ground. In conclusion Strychnia are some of the
leaders in the next big genre, and I believe very strongly that they
can make it to the top!
