Rise Schallplatten & CDs

Review: California deathcore mob Spite have made waves over the last decade with their tireless work ethic, intense live shows and sonic brute force. Few artists within their scene often prioritise hardcore aspects over the metal machinations, but on their fourth full-length, Dedication To Flesh, the absolute balance has been struck. With trudging grooves, heaving breakdowns and a visceral, animated delivery from vocalist, Darius Tehrani; this is death metal-inspired hardcore at its most literal audible manifestation, while arriving on new label-home, Rise, following a lengthy stint with Stay Sick, is surely indicative of an entirely new, hideous era of Spite.
