Some might jump up thinking their CD player is malfunctioning, but it’s a fact: Origin displays an insane tempo here. All the more astonishing is the clearly recognizable line and melody. Those who engage with it will have a lot of fun. Since I’m not really familiar with the “high-performance death metal champions league,” I can’t fit this into any category. The band has been around with interruptions and lineup changes since 1997 and has toured with Nile, Cryptopsy, Gorguts, and other fans of the heavier style. Anyone who claims that these five gentlemen are just delivering mindless noise will be proven very wrong. The touted “technical proficiency” is impressively audible with Origin. With hard and punchy drums, triple vocals, and insane speed, the record runs without completely confusing the listener. As I write this review while listening to Antithesis for the first time, I’m totally blown away and have to headbang while considering how to express my enthusiasm. I’ve rarely received such hard material presented so well. Awesome...
