Reviews INSURRECTION - PROTOTYPE
Prototype is this Gatineau, Canada quintet's third full-length. This is mostly standard technical death metal. What standard means is perhaps up to the listener. The band doesn’t go crazy as far as the tempo goes or there is little to no sign of blast beats here for example. Just solid sometimes unoriginal death metal with guitar breaks that may give the band the technical tag. This is also reflected in the vocals of Stef Jomphe (ex-Mortor). In a world where metalcore has too much influence it is refreshing and in itself original to listen to a release which features little of it. It is a bit easier to look over any negatives and deficiencies when a band seems less inclined to follow the crowd. The image of the band is that of chopping and cutting in the operating room, again not the most original, but true to the style and not on a bandwagon.
Prototype is ten songs (plus a techno sounding intro) and 40 minutes long. It is produced by Topon Das (Fuck The Facts, etc.) and mixed by scene veteran Pierre Remillard. It is sometimes sung in French. Flood the streets to support the uprising and check insurrectionmetal.com for news. – Anna Tergel
