HeavyHardMetalmania: ORIGIN: "Omnipresent" Key Word «Almighty»

Origin is one of those bands that needs no introduction. They are considered, and it´s easy to know why, one of the most brutal bands in the death metal world. They´ve been playing lethal music for about 15 years and managed to build a wide and solid fan base. This reckless force has charted twice on the Billboard Top Heatseekers (with “Antithesis” at #21 and “Entity” at #20) and acted alongside bands such as Suffocation, Cryptopsy, Nile, Arch Enemy, Hate Eternal, Dying Fetus, naming just a few.

After releasing chaos in earth with the previous 5 works Origin earns the status of an infinite presence with the newborn – “Omnipresent”. The album has been recorded with producer and engineer Robert Rebeck at Chapman Recording Studio and has been mixed and mastered with Colin Marston at Menegroth – The Thousand Caves (Altar of Plagues, Krallice, Jarobe). It features the recording debut of new Origin vocalist Jason Keyser (ex – Skinless). With John Longstreth (ex – Angelcorpse and Gorguts), Paul Ryan and Mike Flores completing this heavy formation, the stage is set for decimation.

The follow-up to 2011´s “Entity” album is a discharge of technical death metal in its purest essence. From the time we venture in the first song there´s no turning back… song after song the brutal riffing, the technically infallible drumming and massive singing keeps you with ears wide open, enjoying every single minute of it. There are many incredible attributes in “Omnipresent” like the simple but catchy shredding in the track “Permanence” that works as an intro to the following song “Manifest Desolate”, which in turn displays the huge level of quality of the band when it comes to technique. Speaking of technique… “Absurdity Of What I Am” is nothing less than 2:41 minutes of nonstop death metal culminating in an awesome climax. Compared to “Permanence”, the track “Continuum” is also a shredding that works as an intro to the next song “Unattainable Zero”. Other great peculiarity is the beginning of the 10 track “Obsolescence” that starts with a really cool “impish – like” atmosphere evolving later into an anti-melodic mayhem – the song “Malthusian Collapse”, another song to take into account. The track “The Indiscriminate” is the icing on the cake and the final piece completing the whole. Those unhappy can still count with a little surprise – the S.O.D cover song “Kill Yourself”.

“Omnipresent” is a must-hear album for everyone that worships brutality above all. It´s a perfect example of what technical death metal should be like and also an example of how a band evolves with experience. The new vocalist is without a doubt a gain, his voice kept the beastly spirit of the sound and I even dare to say (no hard feelings) that he brought a new soul to the set. If you like Necrophagist, Nile, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Cryptopsy, Aborted and so on… then Origin is a band you don´t want to miss.

The word defining the new full length: «Almighty»

One melee with the words, ideas and its paradoxes... albuns that are news, the reviews at "HeavyHardMetalmania.net", always with its watermark, Pedro Ribeiro, with love for beer... sorry, music from an early age, he studied piano and singing from 7 to 14 years, then, devoted himself to the study of the guitar for 5 years. "The wisdom is found in the extremes, all extreme Metal here!"
