{"product_id":"obsolete-animate-isolate-music-cd-616422142428","title":"Obsolete - Animate \/\/ Isolate - Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor a certain type of metal purist, extremity is defined not by blast beats and bowel-bothering growls, but by how fast a band can sand one's face off with a riff that is both instantly memorable, and so intricate and alien that one can't begin to understand how to play it on a lowly human guitar. By that metric, Obsolete may be that certain purist's favorite band. Every riff here is fine-tuned for maximum cerebral carnage. Why play a normal scale in a normal way at a normal speed, when one can play a bizarre, upside-down bit of nightmare logic at warp nine? Somehow Obsolete is able to bang out riff after riff in this style all over their new album Animate\/\/Isolate. Just as impressively, they string them together into comprehensible structures and memorable songs-a collision of head-bangable death \/ thrashing goodness and advanced technicality encountered only occasionally in such predecessor bands as Sadus and demo-era Cynic. Adding in occasional splashes of black metal and avant-death dissonance, Obsolete manages to craft a debut album that stands apart from the crowd without resorting to gimmicks or unlistenable experimentation. With Animate\/\/Isolate, Obsolete have put together one hell of a first salvo. Nine tracks deep and bristling with ideas and hyperactive energy, this is a death \/ thrash album that any fan of either genre should hear.Creativity. Ferocity. Technicality. Obsolete. Animate. Isolate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49215039275250,"sku":"USAX69.2","price":22.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/3961664-2698193.jpg?v=1778916948","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/obsolete-animate-isolate-music-cd-616422142428","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
