Tech-Death Collective Vitriol Ready 2024's Most Ferocious Release With Suffer & Become
Ultra-violent Portland extreme metal wrecking crew Vitriol may just be sitting on 2024's most vein-popping, head-smashing LP with Suffer & Become. The group's sophomore full length and first release in half a decade, the upcoming 10-track album - birthing on the 26th of January - takes all the elements of their killer debut To Bathe from the Throat of Cowardice and cranks the dial to it's breaking point.Fronted by Kyle Rasmussen - one of the most relentless guitarists currently inhabiting the metal world - Vitriol is a must listen for fans of punishing acts like Hate Eternal, Origin and Ulcerate. This is death metal at it's most visceral and digit-twisting, yet with plenty of atmosphere and ear-grabbing passages - a task easier said than composed.With 'The Flowers Of Sadism' debuting at the start of November, the blitzkrieg first single is a clear sign of intent from the newly-expanded four piece. The relentless instrumentation and monstrous vocals make for a devastating wall of sound, refusing the give the listener even a moment of reprieve.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2aXk_xC8r0&pp=ygUHdml0cmlvbA%3D%3DSecond preview tune 'Weaponized Loss' - which ever so slightly dials back the tempo - brings an almost apocalyptic vibe with expanded dynamic elements and production flourishes sitting next flattening double kick drums and filthy guitar tone.A wild ride front-to-back, Vitriol's second album Suffer & Become is not for the faint-hearted or uninitiated. If you love death metal at it's most intense, this will be a must listen in 2024 - and for those wanting to venture out into more extreme waters, Vitriol deserves to be at the top of your listening pile.Words by Andrew Kapper
