(Un)worthy
Where Light Divides
(Rottweiler Records)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Un)worthy is a new 2-man deathcore band from Riverside, CA. While they\u2019ve been releasing
singles since 2019 (digital only), their Rottweiler Records debut EP was released in 2023.
The release opens with \u201cStatement of Faith,\u201d which is precisely that. It\u2019s a reading of the
Apostles Creed with some atmosphere keyboards underneath the spoken word piece to good
effect. The next two tracks are \u201cLed to the Slaughter\u201d and \u201cBehold the Conqueror,\u201d both of
which feature all the standards trademarks of deathcore: ultra-heavy riffs and breakdowns,
ambient passages, intense shouted\/growled vocals, and some electronic elements here and
there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFrom Corruption to Consummation\u201d takes those elements and adds some tasty blast beats to
the equation. In fact, this might be the strongest track on the release so far. \u201cThe End of All
Things is at Hand,\u201d by contrast trades in the blast beats for heavy riffs and also includes some
death metal style soloing. Contending for strongest song designation is EP closer, \u201cA Decision
with Eternal Consequences,\u201d which trades off blast beats with breakdowns for maximum
heaviness impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, this is a great addition to the deathcore genre. While Where Light Divides<\/em> may not be
revolutionary, it is in many ways groundbreaking. The combining of traditional death metal
tools like blastbeats, riffing, and soloing is a welcome change to the relentless number of artists
over-relying on breakdowns alone. And lyrically the band are strong in their presentation of the
Gospel, which is one of their stated goals. Let\u2019s hope this 6-song EP is just a teaser of what\u2019s to
come, and not the final say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
