OVERVIEW

Technicality and brutality have a head-on collision on the latest release from Sympathy. Hailing from Canada, the brainchild of Dharok has been a

force in the extreme metal underground for several years now. Having already released 2 critically acclaimed full lengths and an EP while essentially

being a 1-man band, Sympathy returns with a third full length that sees him reaching out and adding other musicians to the mix, including Jeff Lewis

album yet. Dharok takes his trademark mix of aggressive thrash, technical brutal death, and harsh black, and ups the ante with songs that take his

sound to an entirely different plain. The compositions are more complex, the playing more technical (featuring some of the fastest playing Sympathy

has ever performed), and the songs are unpredictable, as elements of black, death, thrash, doom, and orchestral elements are melded together. The

guitars are absolutely crushing, and the leads by Jeff add delicious layers and textures to the compositions. One of the biggest changes is Jim's drums,

which are powerful, aggressive, technical, and in your face. While being fast, brutal, and technical, the music can be very atmospheric at times,

its unpredictable, fast and furious pace will make your inner metal being giddy with pleasure. Sympathy's blackened death sound is recommended for

anyone and everyone who even thinks they are a fan of extreme metal, and fans of bands like Suffocation, Immolation, Morbid Angel, and Dimmu
