Mitochondrion/Parasignosis/Profound Lore Records/2011 CD Review


  Mitochondrion are  a  band  from  Vancouver  B.C,  Canada  that  plays  a  mixture  of  bestial  black  metal and  occult  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "Parasignosis"  which  was  released by  Profound  Lore  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow, mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  great  amount  of  brutal  sounding  blast beats  being  thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  keyboards  bring  a  very  dark,  evil,  occult,  psychedelic,  and  avant  garde  sound  to  the  recording,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  bestial black  metal  with  brutal  death  metal  and  really  heavy  dark  doom/death  with  a  good  amount  of  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  as  well  as  some  clean  playing  that  gives  the  musical a  dark  ambient  feeling,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  dark,  technical  and  melodic  sounding  black/death  metal  guitar  solos and  leads.

  Vocals  range  from  deep  bestial  black/death  metal  growls  to  high pitched  screams,  while  the  lyrics  cover  Apocalypse,  Occultism,  Disease  and  Gnosis,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  dark  sound  with  some  of  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion Mitochondrion    are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  occult,  bestial  black,  brutal  death and  dark  doom  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Plague  Evokation"  "Trials"  and  "Banishment  (Undecaphosphoric)'  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
