Dive into the intense and thought-provoking world of Decapitated with their seventh studio album, "Anticult." Released on July 7, 2017, via Nuclear Blast, this album is a powerful blend of death metal, groove metal, deathcore, and grindcore, showcasing the band's signature brutal and technical style. Clocking in at just under 38 minutes, "Anticult" is a relentless assault of heavy riffs, intricate drum work, and guttural vocals that will leave you breathless.
Decapitated, hailing from Krosno, Poland, has been a force in the extreme metal scene since their formation in 1996. With "Anticult," they explore existential themes, delving into the abstract nature of human existence. The album was conceived and written by Rasta, the band's guitarist, and it's a testament to their musical prowess and lyrical depth.
The album kicks off with "Impulse," setting the tone for the rest of the record with its aggressive and driving rhythm. Tracks like "Kill the Cult" and "One-Eyed Nation" showcase the band's ability to blend groove and brutality, while "Anger Line" and "Earth Scar" highlight their technical skill and complex song structures. "Never" and "Amen" close out the album with a powerful and introspective finish.
"Anticult" is not just a collection of songs; it's a statement. It's a challenge to the status quo and an exploration of what it means to be human. With its tight runtime and relentless energy, it's a record that demands your full attention from start to finish. Whether you're a long-time fan of Decapitated or new to their music, "Anticult" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates heavy, thought-provoking metal.
