Greece's Dephosphorus have returned with a new recording which continues their mixture of black, death metal and grindcore from their previous releases with a musical style that they call 'astrogrind' and this is a review of their 2020 album "Sublimation" which will be released in September as a joint effort between 7 Degress, Selfmadegod and Nerve Altar Records.
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the album while e-bow's can also be heard briefly when the music speeds up a great amount of grindcore elements, tremolo picking and blast beats can also be heard. Vocals are mostly blackened metal screams along with the riffs also adding in some melodies.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while sci-fi sounds can also be heard at times. The music also mixes in some death metal and post hardcore influences into the riffing along with the guitar leads being done in a very dark yet melodic style when they are utilized as well as the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody, clean chants and singing can also be heard briefly and the closing track is also very long and epic in length.
On this recording Dephosphorus remain true to the astrogrind style that they have established and previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon Iain M. Banks sci-fi novel "The Hydrogen Sonata".
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Dephosphorus and if you are a fan of black, death metal and grindcore, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Devoured By Aeons" "Towards the Eerie Light Of The Core" "Neural Lace" and "The Mists Rose Like Departing Dreams". 8 out of 10.
