3.5/5

On the more brutal end of the tech-death spectrum lie Parasitic Extirpation. The Massachusetts upstarts win the “most improved” award (were I actually handing out awards) on their debut full-length, Casketless. I reviewed their first EP, and while it certainly was nothing to sneeze at, it didn’t necessarily jump out at you. Pristine production and a revived sense of purpose have made all the difference, and have pushed them from being a decent slam-prone death metal band to a great brutal tech-death-grind band. While the genre’s general complaints still appl y– it’s hard to tell one track from the next, and the songwriting falls a little into the realm of riff salad-ry — the point is moot, considering that the riffs are all top-fucking notch. Like, all of them. So if you can’t necessarily tell the difference between the title track (with its meaty slam and ridiculous leads) and “Drifting with the Dead” (with its multiple nimble-fingered guitar segues), it doesn’t make a difference. Piling quality on top of quality yields… well, quality. If you’re looking for massively enjoyable tech-death that’s not afraid to slow it down every now and again (but isn’t obsessed with it), look no goddamn further than Parasitic Extirpation.
