Vermin

The men of Vermin do their name no honor, because they are definitely no Vermin! They kick in quite good with the musical intro Inferiorganism, in this song the men show how well they know Music without the vocals. They manage to build up a great amount of power, this power stays in their songs trough the entire album. Inferiorganism starts with a slow and dark foreplay of the guitar, followed by upcoming battering drumbeats that go faster and faster till they have reached their ear gasm, more melodic parts come after that.

In this song the whole album is summarised. Vermin handles the tempo rotations very well. But the battering just starts by the second track, when the vocalist jumps in after the first nine seconds with a lot of unintelligible growling.

This album contains a lot of movement and tempo rotations, the guitar rhythms look like they lead their own life, but for some reason it fits to the rest of the music. There also is a lot of playing with the sound effects. Next to their various drumbeats is the album very technical, I would almost call it progressive, this is due to the structures in the songs you don’t come along very often in the death metal genre.

The mix on this album is really raw, but it adds a lot of good vibes to the music! You only need to take the time to get used to the album, but you won’t regret that! I haven’t busted Vermin on a single boring moment on this album, this I did have on their album ‘A nihilistic Swarm’ where they play a lot less technical en tight. One way or the other: Go and find your neck brace. Cool, awesome, epic. You go and buy that album!
