Gorevent – Fate (2020)

April 6, 2023

Brutal and enjoyable slam that is unfortunately falling just on the wrong side of predictable. Formulaic songs aside, Fate is a beast of a record, with bludgeoning production that is thick, heavy and dry. In the first instance it reminds me of Cephalotripsy with more chug and less gravity blasts. At 8 songs long and only 25 minutes in length, Fate doesn’t hang around for long but honestly, after two listens it actually felt much longer than that both times.

All in all, a record worth listening to for those who are deep in the mires of slam but the earlier Gorevent stuff is much better, IMO.
