Changes in the lineup and a year later they present this "Asynchronous", an album recorded and mixed by Rick Murillo (Solo Sound, Hell Paso, Texas), although mastered by Rubén Rodríguez at his Neburzone Studios (MURDERWORKER, ITNUVETH, DEFORMITY or the tribute "Dreaming In Red, Dreaming In Death: A Tribute To DISMEMBER" to be released in the fall of 2024). From the band's camp they define themselves as "Fast, brutal, dissonant, atmospheric and sharp" Technical Death/Grind—that's precisely the style and sound they develop. Less progressive than their debut EP, "Asynchronous" presents itself as a technical death metal work, with elements of brutal death and shifts towards the frenzy of grindcore. While the ten new songs are geared towards live performances, they've added Gaspar Del Valle on bass and Emre Akan on vocals, although neither recorded any tracks for this album.
They dominate with raw and violent death metal compositions like "Lost Wavelengths" and "Ophivchvs Fortress," featuring their most complex sections, though pure speed and fury prevail. However, they don't neglect some dissonant and progressive elements, as in "The Riddle of the Ages" and "Lothophagovs." The latter song is based on the Lotus-eaters, a people first mentioned in Homer's "Odyssey," and ABSOLUTISM uses this to draw a parallel with numbness. of today's society and the forgetting of any purpose or value.
All the compositions are under four minutes long, reinforcing the idea that this is a work best suited for live performance. They don't dwell too much on melody, adding some synthesizer touches in the instrumental "Uppståndelse," and the solos are restrained. You can pay attention to the one in "The Hidden Svns." Furthermore, they haven't gotten too bogged down in intricate progressive ideas, and the technical flourishes are well-condensed in a release whose influences range from Meshuggah, Voivod, Hate Eternal, Cephalic Carnage, Suffocation, and Dying Fetus.
As is typical with releases from Base Record Production, the label handling the release of "Asynchronous," the album is available on the label's official Bandcamp page and is released in all three existing physical formats.
