THE REVIEW

It is the stench of decay that dominates this album. The Canadian band The End, in 2003 carried on their mood of classic math-core matrix with this 'Within Dividia', the successor to the debut EP 'Transfer Trachea Reverberations from Point: False Omniscent' which, with its blind fury, had raised high hopes.

And this album adds, in addition to the production of Pierre Rémilliard, introspective moments and evocative instrumental expansions (as in "The Sense of Reverence", prelude to the next track "the scent of Elegance" and the long agony of "Orthodox Unparalleled") ready to burst into disturbing, fragmented, "square", fast riffs filled with thrash, hardcore and grind fury reminiscences reworked like the pioneers Botch, Dillinger, and Converge. What doesn’t fully convince is the drums, which sometimes seem to really disappear under the wall of sound that is created in "Organelle" and "Dear martyr", and it's not at all impactful as in the open track "These Walls" and the following "Fetesque" or in the concluding "of Fist and Flame".

A pleasant album this 'Within Dividia', certainly derived from projects related to the same musical current but nevertheless fascinating in its entirety and absolutely enjoyable.
