Description
In under half hour Canadian bestial death metal cataclysm Prophetic Suffering conceive the unthinkable and create a violent and dark monstrosity bringing together the feral black/death terror of Blasphemy with the gruesome and sanguinary gore-infested death metal of Cannibal Corpse albums like "The Bleeding" and "Tomb of the Mutilated".This obfuscating and chaos-wielding approach to USDM metal had already been observed before within the underground's most forbidden folds, as exemplified for example through the perversions of cult terrorscapers like Drawn and Quartered or Angelcorpse, but what transpires from Prophetic Suffering's abysmal vision is something of even less canonical lineaments, and which sets various precedents in the development of this peculiar strain of darkened and ultra-gruesome death metal.Foremost, a pervasive and weaponized use of black metal and technical death-derived dissonance that has metastasized into a torrential maelstrom of gnarled, atonal fretwork destruction. A mind-expanding contrast is created where the guitarwork stretches forward to embrace a mutating modernity still in becoming, while the rest of the band deliberately collapses backward, perpetrating a primeval onslaught of carpet-bombing hammer blasts, searing basslines, and soul-tearing death grunts. This contrast between the album's transformative articulation and its visceral adherence to primitivism and barbarity is what makes "Rivalry of Thyself" such an abomination unto itself. A cataclysmic hellscape of enigmatic complexity and truculent violence in which impenetrable atmospheres enshroud a monolithic, screaming altar of mutilated bodies and trodden flesh, harkening back to a familiar golden age of extreme death metal just as it evokes sinister presages of a future evolved death metal form still all in becoming.
