@dylanfrey9478 The reason it needed to be said was because Sir Crunchwrap placed this on par or above Necrophagist's Epitaph and Faceless's Planetary Duality. This album sits below both, but not by very far, It basically is Planetary Duality 2.0 if it was written by some tech death version of ChatGPT, which they might have been going for so I think it's pretty neat. Had the taco bell menu item simply said this album was great, there wouldn't have been any disagreements from any of us commenting here I imagine.
Already listened to the album twice today and cueing up for a third listen in headphones. TZP has crafted another masterpiece. I love their sound. It can be challenging to stand out in this genre but they accomplish it beautifully! Cheers for Datalysium!! 🤘
They pretty much take all the best parts of the modern tech scene, add some OG spices and it's just awesome. I think I'v spun this like a dozen times since it came out. You can tell a lot of time went into this material. They nailed it.
No,too robotic record as every tech death metal ones today!And it's not catchy too.

@@kareltrumm2258 For the last few years, I've been listening to way less metal for some of these reasons. it gets difficult to digest and for most of these bands, it all goes crumbling down live because it can't achieve the same feel or end result (There are exceptions of course !). But honesty for this album yeah It is robotic but I find the production way more agreable to listen to than other records. Well balanced, tight playing and there are some nice groovy licks in there !
That transition tho!!!! Edit: forgot it was the entire album played through. Yoooooo. The transition from Axiom of Error to Algorithmic is other worldly!!! Major goosebumps vibes!!
I listen to the album, you can hear a lot of hard work and creative thought to push their boundaries went into this album. This is one of my favorite tech/death/prog albums, up there a long side Necrophagist. Groovy, jazzy, technical, brutal and progressive all blended together beautifully.
I wanted to add, holy shit I didn’t realize how intense the songs was till I heard it on my cars surround sound speakers, I hear all the little details, the synths better wow it gives you this existential crisis discovering a new reality/unifying and fusing between two parallel universes like the album cover I can’t explain it. This album was mixed and engineered so well I’m blown away still.
@@MeeksOpry the faceless will still be the best with jazz iin my opinion right next to beyond creation. its hard to find deathmetal bands that are prog with jazz.
The remixes are great. The production quality is actually insane. The compositions are mind boggling. The progression through the album is stupefying. Album of the year? First Black Medium Current and now this. It's been a good year for high quality metal so far.
so nice to hear non-boring tech death. Some bands do it right. but this makes me think of necrophagist/ the faceless when this genre was just popping off.
TZP is really setting a new standard in the genre, it's OK to be different, it's OK to add elements that may be unconventional. The reason I stopped listing to tech metal years ago was every band sounded the same and it got boring fast. I hope this album and TZP can pioneer the genre for more creative albums to come after it.
Very refreshing and creative. High level tech. All sound like it was distilled a hundred times, every section and transition is well thought. The music is breathing despite being fast and dense.
While I agree it’s (tech) AOTY and Deletion Cult is the best song, “nothing comes remotely close”? Not even Gorod - The Orb with songs like We Are The Sun Gods, Breeding Silence, Savitri & Scale of Sorrows? Especially the first 2 are already tech death classics imo 😃
I have no words to make weight to the quality of this album, my comment just represents the need of giving recognition to the band, and team that produced this whole masterpiece. This is healing and inspiring for me. SO GOOD.
I was a tech death fan 10 years ago, with the Faceless being one of my favorites. I just run into this band a few days ago and instantly recognized the style. Killer album.
This LP is totally FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Those stops, tempo changes, 32's... I mean, SMOKIN' HOT man. "Synaptic Depravation" and "Divinertia I" are my early favorites.
Killer record. Been listening to it since I got my preorder earlier this week! The transition from The Axiom of Error to Algorithmic Salvation knocked my socks off. I definitely prefer drum sound on Algorithmic Salvation on this better than the single version.
Am I crazy or did this album make you cry too? Like it's perfect. The emotions, the riffing, that drum work, the vox. It's probably the best thing I've heard in about a decade. Well done guys.
I'm one bad mf. Don't get me wrong. Only thing I love and hate is when SICK FUCKING MUSIC makes my throat tighten up and tears leak. But I'm grateful I come to appreciate art to this extreme.
Stunning chaps. the tech slams hard but the composition creams even harder. Perfect mix of technicality and musicality and the production is so refined and clean. Best Album of the year by far. All hail the zenith christ lol
Smooth and tech as fuck! Never heard about this band before, but WOW what a production! Stole my ears right away - eargasm!!! Congrats with this great album, well done
This record sounds so crisp. So clean. So tight. So heavy. Amazing. The guitar sound is something special. I can’t do it justice in words, but all the guitarists know what I mean. Dat tone 🥵
Those Black/Mustard LPs have sold out everyhwere in both the US and EU in a matter of two days. That's practically unheard of when it comes to music as niche-y as this, unless we're talking Archspire levels of popularity. Congrats on a great album! And grats to Metal Blade for signing this extraordinary band! 🥂
@@chrisss3749heh, I was thinking Gorod: The Orb (2023 as well) with the black background and an orange(/yellow) circle in the middle :P Although Zenith’s art is cooler with the arms, I prefer detail-ridden covers like Inferi (Revenant, Sunless Realms, Vile Genesis) or most Par Olofsson artworks. Hell, Gorod ALSO had a cooler cover for their single (Breeding Silence) compared to the album cover, wtf 😅🥲
I can't get over how good this is! ...and I wasn't a fan before this album :o (0:00) THE AXIOM OF ERROR -Brutal opener (not unlike Gorod's "Chrematheism" :D). 2:00 & 2:08 are some sick solo runs! (02:27) ALGORITHMIC SALVATION (10/10) -LOVE the super intense percussive main riff! Love the more bass prominent breakdown from 4:08 onwards, and the solo (4:28) is tasty af! (05:57) LEXICONTAGION (10/10) -3rd best song on the album - Awesome percussive main riff, classic tech death verses (6:25), and 7:08 is heavy af. The prog break at 7:36 is GOAT'ed! (8:21 for solo) (09:38) SYNAPTIC DEPRAVATION -11:06 TRippi. Tasty lead at 11:42 followed by an atmospheric break (12:07) with a bass solo (12:16) and guitar solo (12:35)! Cool synth layer & outro at 13:51! (15:50) DELETION CULT (10/10) -Song of the year! Tight riffing (16:26), and I LOVE the dynamic riffs and shifts between synth & guitar (17:11)!!! And a breakdown at (18:44). (21:04) DIVINERTIA I -More tight percussive riffing, which then turns into a more eerie atmosphere (21:51) becoming more uplifting at (24:00). (26:20) DIVINERTIA II -Starts atmospheric, then a swift tempo change at (27:48) before tight picking ensues. (29:17) for the best guitar solo on the album! (31:43) AUTOMATED TWILIGHT -Cool prog track with awesome buildups for the chorus (32:49 & 36:53). Great synth climax (34:21) and tasty solo at (35:55)! (38:44) DATALYSIUM (10/10) -2nd best song imo. 41:09 beautiful "chorus"! (42:02) first great solo on this song! (43:43) is just a magical climax! (44:10) BEST SOLO ON THE ALBUM!
@@xeyonHaken is really good, but for one thing this is nothing like Haken, this is tech death, not prog metal, and for another, meshuggah is better than any other band.
Necrophagist an The Faceless great influences !! But I don't read anything about PSYCROPTIC one unfortunately .. there's some ! lots of ! and I just wanted everyone to notice that :) This album is a masterpiece by the way ;)
I think everyone forgets how early decapitated sounded like this in a lot of ways. They aren't really death metal anymore but the original line up deserves some credit for their influence on tech death.
Thanks for giving back that excitment I got when discovering stuff like Morbid Angel, Necrophagist, The Faceless, Dying Fetus etc.... Man that feels good Crazy album, crazy production, tops to the man Dave Otero
This has been on repeat for months for me. I simply can’t get enough of it. The entire album is an absolute masterpiece. My girlfriend often mocks it, and she doesn’t understand how I can listen to it. I told her there’s people who listen to music because they like the sound, then there’s people who listen to music for what it’s comprised of. Metal constantly exceeds the expectations given by previous albums, and the musicianship in technical death metal is unlike any other.
Imo this is the album of the year so far. Great sound technique, effects and hook. Sometimes you can't understand how they can keep together some sounds but they do and it dumn works! It's like mixing meshuggah, primus, between the buried and me and some gojira, fusion, progressive and elettro. I loved it and divinertia 2 is probably my favorite together with algorithmic salvation
Listen to the album in its entirety and chat live with the band here for the live premiere on July 22nd!

Can I speak to the manager... because this is to good for modern humans... they will kill peoples ear holes with audiogazams
This will go down as one of the greatest tech death records of all time. This is up there with epitaph and planetary duality without question.
No, this is not even in the realm of Necrophagist lol….And Soreption does this style better anywho.

Was brushing my teeth as I tore the album and yes 🤯🤯, had to nod at the speaker in a sign of approval 😤🤘🏼
Bro, the transition from Divinertia 1 to 11 was fucking insane. Made my spine jiggle.
100% to all this.

I listen to the album, you can hear a lot of hard work and creative thought to push their boundaries went into this album. This is one of my favorite tech/death/prog albums, up there a long side Necrophagist. Groovy, jazzy, technical, brutal and progressive all blended together beautifully.

First Black Medium Current and now this. It's been a good year for high quality metal so far.

Well the guitarist and vocalist were part of the faceless at one point in time. So def big faceless vibes. Closest you'll get in my opinion
It's the boys! This album SMAAAAAAAAAAAACKS. Great job boys! I'm interested in the story behind all of this. haha
Very refreshing and creative. High level tech. All sound like it was distilled a hundred times, every section and transition is well thought. The music is breathing despite being fast and dense.
Absolute AOTY. Nothing even comes remotely close. TZP has outdone themselves. I swear Deletion Cult is one of the craziest things I've ever heard.

Their style is like the one moment on each Archspire album where they rap-growl to the beat except whole songs of that, and i'm here for it.
