Orbweaver/Strange Transmissions From The Neuralnomicon/Primitive Violence/2013 CD Review


  Orbweaver  are  a  band  from  Miami,  Florida  that  plays  a  mixture  of  psychedelia,  noise  and  technical  death  metal  with  a  slight  black  metal  influence  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Strange  Transmissions  From  The  Neuralnomicon"  which  was  released  by  Primitive  Violence.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars,  as  for  the  sound  effects  when  they  are  utilized  bring  in  more  psychedelic  and  avant  garde  elements  to  the  album.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  technical  death  metal  with  psychedelia  and  noise  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  with  some  black  metal  influences  and  clean  playing  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  at  times  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals  range  from  high  pitched  screams,  deep  death  metal  growls  and  shouts,  while  the  lyrics  cover  science  fiction  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  to  it  with  some  of  the  songs  being  very  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  Orbweaver  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  technical  death  metal,  psychedelia,  and  noise  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Those  Of  Non-Being"  and  "The  Church  Warden  Procedure".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
