Attrition Cult--Epicaricacy (CS) {2026 Noxious Ruin Records}

From my home state of Michigan comes Attrition Cult, a noisy black death metal amalgam with simpler arrangements and the aesthetics of a Satanic bulldozer. This is firmly in the war metal camp, but they lean on the death metal side of their influences more often than the black metal side. There are two vocal styles, one low, one high. The low vocals are the most often used, brutal and unintelligible, but powerful. The high vocals are equally obscure but equally awesome. Both are overpowered by the guitars and drums, a hallmark of this particular style. The band is tight as can be, with solid compositions that may not be terribly catchy, but that's not necessarily what war metal is about. That's not to say there are no hooks, because they're definitely there if you listen closely, they're just hidden under all the violence and murk. This is quite an effort, and I look forward to perhaps encountering them at a show locally.
