The album I am reviewing is, in my opinion, one of the most technical and brutal albums of recent years. The album's name is "Antithesis" by Origin, a band in the Brutal Death scene for many years now.
Origin has masterpieces in its discography such as "Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas," "Echoes of Decimation," and their self-titled album, but in my view, "Antithesis" is the most complete and technical album the American band has produced to date. In this album, there is practical evidence of how Brutal Death is undoubtedly one of the most technical genres in Metal.
This album features parts that reach virtuosity, with extremely fast yet well-crafted guitar riffs and a pounding, extreme drumming. The album kicks off with an extreme pace, only to slow down around the seventh track "Void", but then the relentless rhythm typical of Brutal quickly resumes.
Undoubtedly, the most technical track on the entire album is "Antithesis", but it's really hard to define it as such since every track has fast and highly technical phrasing. Origin is undoubtedly one of my favorite brutal bands, and with this album, they have reaffirmed themselves as one of the best current bands in their genre.

Origin are incredibly fast, therefore they rock.
'Antithesis' is a shining example of how Brutal knows how to evolve; in my attempt to become an up-to-date metalhead, I listened to 'Antithesis' and evolved.

Origin has demonstrated a perfectly clear understanding of the goal they intended to achieve, an extreme musical species, increasingly compact, tremendously technical, incredibly fast, and fiercely powerful.
With Antithesis, Origin manages the challenging feat of pushing beyond the complexity center of the compositions, leaving one baffled at how it is possible to conceive and play in such an obsessively furious and frenzied way without ever missing a beat.
