Brutally intense, unrelenting and outright savage, Divergences wouldn t be misplaced as the soundtrack to the leveling of humanity, as 10 tracks of down-tuned 8 strings flesh out an unrelenting aural bludgeoning. Layering ruthless riffs over frenetic drumbeats and intricate timing changes and a bass tone that makes you want to prolapse at the sheer thought of it, Damned Spring Fragrantia s debut album is a bold, chest-beating emergence onto the European metal scene. Whilst Damned Spring Fragrantia s sheer stylistic brutality owes heavy nods to both The Acacia Strain and Despised Icon, the band manages to fuse the staple sound of Meshuggah in with more progressive and math elements. Lyrically the songs deal with a range of personal struggles, the human fight against fate and societies ills.
