It\u2019s an interesting blend, especially with the vibrant cover art and very death metal album title.<\/p>\n<p>Musically, <em>Cavern Of Inoculated Cognition<\/em> rumbles extremely hard and boasts a strong Vastum vibe, especially in the vocal department. Tracks such as \u2018Spectral Forge\u2019 chug with a billowing aplomb circa the ashen grinds of classic Bolt Thrower and \u2018Bone Riddling Necrosis\u2019 applies speed and extra layers of filth, while \u2018Crimson Mask\u2019 again injects a Bolt Thrower passage or two. It\u2019s incredibly effective and dare I say it simplistic in design.<\/p>\n<p>This EP feels fat in its rolls as well as infectious in that old school death metal way, but it does not just exist on tried and tested formulas and a song like \u2018Infinite Crest\u2019 is evidence of that. Somewhat of surprise then, Spinebreaker tick all the death metal boxes and occasionally inject a hardcore swagger resulting in a rather satisfying and chunky bowl of brutality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Neil Arnold<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPINEBREAKERCavern Of Inoculated Cognition EP Creator-Destructor (2023)Rating: 8\/10 These are Californian hardcore kids \u2013 well, not quite \u201ckids\u201d as they\u2019ve been hanging around since 2013 \u2013 but their image suggests something more streetwise and yet they play death metal.
