CHAMBER
Cost Of Sacrifice
PURE NOISE
Nashville nihilists burrow into the darkest depths of hardcore
Chamber’s nihilistic full-length debut sits somewhere between Iowa-era Slipknot and Jesus Piece. Opener Fracture’s bile-soaked vocals and thunderous grooves wrestle vicious nostalgia and blackened hardcore. The scathing vocals aren’t afraid to play with dramatic pauses either. In Cleansing Fire is unspeakably heavy but carefully crafted with ferocious angular riffage and multiple shifts in tempo while the slower-paced Disassemble Reassemble still finds scope for punishment as it lurches menacingly between unsettling blasts and feedback-drenched primal screams. It’s a stellar effort from an uncompromising and rightly confident-sounding band.
