### Discreate: Contingent development of inanimate modifications

#### 22/03/12 || BamaHammer

I haven’t heard much stuff from the Philippines, but what I have heard is actually some quality shit. Discreate is no different. They’ve got the whole stereotypical “br00tal” death metal sound down, and they are definitely not afraid to give it a whirl with their own flavors mixed in. The vocals are pretty much incoherent throughout, à la Jasad or many other brutal death metal bands from the eastern Asia, so if you like that sort of thing, this album will probably be something you dig. The vocals are very prominent and sound like Chris Barnes colon croaking. The guitar riffs and drum work are fairly tight and performed at hyperspeed, which I thoroughly enjoy, but things do get just a bit repetitious repetitious after a few spins, which is saying something since this is just a three-song EP clocking in at under 10 minutes. Now, I love brutal death metal, and this is an EP that I like, and I’ve heard a lot worse than this. And the cover is pretty cool.

6/10: Butt-burped vocal lines.
