Disimperium – Malefic Obliteration
The EP has the ominous intent of black metal, the thick swampiness of dissonant death metal, and the feral abrasion of grindcore.

Full of snarling punk attitude, the album is just plain fun to listen to.
The label is known for finding the congruence points of excellence and nastiness. The Hallucination demo is both excellent and nasty.
…the Texas quintet do so in a slow burn thrash track that is reminiscent of the classic thrash I grew up on, in terms of grit and delivery.
Taking full advantage of the strengths offered by each member, the band have spawned a dark, bombastic creation, rich with feeling, and full of twists and turns.
My hope is that more modern industrial will once again find the harrowing, ominous soul of the genre, as these two projects clearly have.
Changing tempos and shifting time signatures, combines with a variety of vocal approaches and riffing, present a swirling vortex of chaotic prog darkness.
It’s the type of album that can be hard to write about objectively, because it’s really more about how it grabs me and about how it makes me feel, than it is about particular riffs, rhythms, or anything else.
There is nothing soft about either track, though there is plenty of skill displayed in the mauling they give us.
