Growth are a band from France that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of black, death and industrial with some elements of goth and synthpop and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "Capitalist Supremacy" which will be released on April 30th.
Field recordings start off the album along with some programmed beats and elements of synthpop a few seconds later which also give in with the heavier sections of the songs. Spoken word samples can also be heard on most of the tracks while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Death metal growls are also added into some parts of the recording along with the music also mixing in a great amount of industrial and goth influences.
Melodic vocals and clean playing can also be heard briefly on a couple of songs along with one track also adding in touches of 80's videogame style music as well as some of the faster riffing also bringing in some tremolo picking which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover anti Capitalism themes and humorous topics.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Growth and if you are a fan of black, death and industrial metal with some touches of goth and synthpop, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Worship Him" "Chemical Warfare" "For Your Own Good" and "Edgy Misanthropy". 8 out of 10.
