Staff Picks: Hissing - Hypervirulence Architecture
For fans of: Extremes in Extreme Metal
What they're saying: Rich Webb at Distorted Sound describes the Hissing sound as “a neck-shredding concoction of schizophrenic rhythmical shifts, frantic riffs and vocals that cover more ground in one song then most bands do in their entire back catalogue.” New Noise Magazine’s Michael Centrone describes the harsh trance inducing sound as: “hellacious soundscapes that is paralysis in music form.” And the Angry Metal Guy blog says of the record: “Hypervirulence Architecture is ruthless, and ruthlessly executed.”
What we say: Perhaps the most extreme, brutal, and technical Northwestern metal act going. Unrelentingly harsh and brilliant for it.
