Admittedly, the features of Chad Kapper and Cameron McBride are the real reason why you primarily look for the Sleepsculptor-Second work Divine Recalibration following the very solid, but also hardly inspiring predecessor Entry: Dispersal became aware.
Where the really exciting story actually begins, however, is the entry of the new singer Florent Curatola, who was recruited via online auditions and who, under the production aegis of Matt Guglielmo (Cryptodira, Spite, Seeyouspacecowboy) beginning recordings in March 2022, is the real clou of Divine Recalibration but the fact that the metalcore-affine mathcore of the group with its post-hardcore, death and grind hatchings and technically impressive taming of the catchy chaos also does little differently on the second attempt than before (or differently than countless colleagues) – that moshing beatdown chugs, fretboard squeaks, panic chords, crazy time signatures and fat riffing slo-mo heavyness riots rampaging amalgam bursting with gripping energy but this time developing a compelling vehemence that you can’t resist.
Also: Aside from the frenetic performance, the songwriting doesn’t go wrong and shouldn’t only be for fans of some Vein.fm satisfy.
Panacea throws beatdown hardcore, catchy parts, early ’00s emo pleading and chopped up synths into the ring with zero friction, Chrysalis grinds out his abrasive staccato flirting with stoicism. An Equivalent Exchange orientates itself cleaner rocking and desperate at Every Time I Die-carnage and ultimately bathes in ambient to match the dystopian electronics of Brainwashing (like later Twins) to breathe deeply as an interlude: the flow of the record is successful!
In Beyond the Veil on the other hand, the percussive rhythm is in the foreground and anticipates the drum madness that will set in later, including the flight of the fretboard, the heaviness less manic, meanwhile Pry electronic gimmicks a la Dillinger Escape Plan set up, Symbiote Reborn nu-metallic appearance and A Divine Recalibration even flirts with MySpace emo singing.
And then there was the initially warmed thing regarding the features – which is ultimately completely assimilated by the structure: In Rite of Agony roar himself Chad Kapper (Frontierer, A Dark Orbit, When Knives Go Skyward) and curatola to a certain extent on Car Bomb– Playing field a little unspectacular to the incendiary devices, meanwhile the Methwitch in Plaster Saint provides more radical variance in the showdown of the general carnage inferno.
Either way: Regardless of the guest list, they will stay on board for album number 3.
