Invertia-The Biddings of Tyrants

Self-release/Independent
2016

"Unholy, utterly-bleak and oppressive mechanized anarchy". Along with the phrase "highly-recommend" that is as good of a place as any to start when you are trying to describe this new album from (fucking harsh!) New England blackened-industrial death metal band Invertia*. If I was pressed to go further on from there then I would probably call this disc "A (politically-motivated) violent attack on the senses that effectively blurs the line between THICK waves of electronic noise and damn tasty punk/hardcore-infused garage metal". The thing is even that description fails to convey just how unreal this disc is! Honestly-speaking, "The Biddings of Tyrants" is unlike anything I've ever heard before. It is way more imposing than even the artwork suggests and it is completely devoid of empathy. As can be heard by heading here, "The Biddings of Tyrants" sounds like someone sampled the haunting wailing of those suffering eternal torment and then constructed a beastly industrial death metal album around it! Just released this month, "The Biddings of Tyrants" is obviously geared towards headbangers who appreciate mechanized forms of brutality!!



*Invertia is Dave Coppola (vocals, guitars, bass, FX, samples) and Tim Winson (drum programming, synth, mixing/mastering). "The Biddings of Tyrants" is the third full-length album from this pair and it features guest drummers Aaron Rossi (Ministry, Prong) and Kevin Talley (Suffocation, Dying Fetus, Six Feet Under).
