User Album Review
What makes Disomus a notable step up for the East Coast collective is how they’ve doubled down on the menace and brutality while expanding their sonic palate in all the right ways. Most obviously, the addition of Wretched guitarist Steven Funderburk is a perfect match for the band. His inclusion has added a much greater emphasis on thrash, prog, and classic dual-guitar harmonies to the mix. While the soul of the band is still intact, there’s much more of a sense of musical playfulness that colors these songs and makes the breakdowns and riffs have much more impact. A song like “The Binding Nightmare Hex” exemplifies the band’s growth. The Morbid Angel influence is a nice touch, but the apocalyptic melodeath chorus foreshadows the album’s best moment. The second half of the tune is just a monster, growing from an enchanting solo to a twin-guitar maelstrom, to something much, much more sinister and ferocious.
With Disomus, it’s clear that Through The Eyes Of The Dead are back to remind everyone how damn fun Grade-A deathcore can be in 2017. You don’t have to stagnate or stoop to the lowest common denominator. You can just write incredibly vicious songs that speak to your lizard brain and the more sophisticated parts simultaneously.
