5.0 out of 5 stars THE SELF-TITLED ORIGIN ALBUM., April 26, 2002

By

This review is from: Origin (Audio CD)

This is one of the most brutal albums I have ever heard. It hits you really hard right away from the beginning of the first song 'Lethal Manipulation (The Bonecrusher Chronicles)' and does not let up one bit throughout the entire album. The musicians that make up Origin, Mark Manning-vocals, Paul Ryan-guitar/vocals, Jeremy Turner-guitar/vocals, John Longstreth-percussion, and Doug Williams-bass have crafted the perfect combination of intense, blistering song writing and shaped the songs with unusual and puzzling time signatures.

Though the songs do tend to run together, the only way that I can fully enjoy this Origin album is by listening to it in it's entirety. Another reviewer describes the Origin sound as reminiscent to early Deicide, which is true in a sense, but Origin have taken the intensity and weird time signatures to another level making Deicide's music sound like pre-school gibberish and fret-board fumblings. I love Deicide just as much as the next guy,and am not trying to put them down, but I have to say that Origin does it better, and with finer precision.

If you want an album that is packed with total unrelenting fury then I would advise you to purchase the self-titled release by Origin. It truly is amazing. Origin get my vote for best release of 2000 easily.
