Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 28, Bandcamp Daily your guide to the world of Bandcamp. Andrew Ransom never makes his presence felt, detracting from the experience, especially when someone like Dominic Lapointe could have woven his considerable talents around the music with grace and elevated the album to even dizzier heights.
As vocals go, Christian Senrud is pleasing, though nothing to write home about, performing an adequate job of mixing death grunts with Aaron Turner-esque growling. The LP isn't quite as brutal as the demo, but it's about twice as complex in both style and substance. That's a pretty fucking hard feat indeed; 'Accumulator' was an insanely complex but never unmusical blast of Beneath The Massacre style technical death grind that fused massive brutality and dramatic, neoclassical melody in a way that most people have only heard in Necrophagist, but was present in that demo in a form many times more extreme.
Now it's taken to an entirely new level for a very strange reason: because those fast, ultra-technical portions are, percentagewise, not nearly as common as they were on the demo. But when they come in, damn are they vicious.
And yet, like the demo, it never becomes too much, or a masturbatory exercise in note-accumulation pun not intended. If there's one thing that Orgone is great at, it's in fusing extreme technicality with a great sense of how to EMPLOY that technicality best in the framework of a song.
The post-metal influence Isis, Pelican, Neurosis, etc. Big, melodic portions with jazzy chord shapes now take up large swaths of the music the second half of the opening track, the same time section on 'The Levitating Chandelier' but actually mesh well with the tech portions. In fact, nearly every track on 'The Goliath' follows the same structure apart from the obvious exception of 'Vowelic Drone', a spacey, gently psychedelic ambient track that is a welcome reprieve from the otherwise very demanding music : brutal, ultra-technical blasting opening section that slowly decays in technicality over the course of the song before blooming into an epic post-metal climax and an eventual fading, shuddering end.
So in actuality, there's probably less brutal, tech material on this CD than there are huge walls of crashing sound in the Isis style. It's just that the viscerality of the tech portions has been amped up to the point where the discrepancy is completely unnoticeable.
It's still extremely technical, brutal music, but it has more overall variation in tempo, mood, and rhythm this time around.
