Technical death metal outfit Harvested showcases their instrumental prowess with a band play-through video for “Synaptic Confusion”, ahead of their August 1st album release “Dysthymia”. The performance video highlights the intricate musicianship that defines the band’s approach to extreme metal. They comment on the track:
“This is one of our groovier tracks that also really focuses on melody. This one grabs onto you from the beginning till the end. This track describes someone who can’t tell the difference between a dream and reality. Our amalgamation of styles and influences can be heard in this album, and we can’t wait to present it to the world, considering the 2022 EP did so well, and it was just our debut.”
“Synaptic Confusion” ushers in the band’s evolution, featuring the complex drumwork of Jacob Collins, whose ‘old-school death metal feel with a modern touch’ provides intricate yet aggressive grooves that anchor the composition. Guitarist Mitchi Dimitriadis delivers the kind of technical riffing that draws comparisons to modern technical death metal innovators while maintaining the raw aggression of classic death metal. The interplay between Eric Forget’s bass work and the overall rhythmic foundation demonstrates why the band takes pride in ‘being tight and showcasing our musical capabilities’.
The play-through format of the video allows viewers to witness the band’s technical execution firsthand, reinforcing their reputation for seamless integration of multiple death metal subgenres. From technical death metal complexity to brutal death metal aggression and old-school death metal foundation, “Synaptic Confusion” encapsulates the diverse influences that make “Dysthymia” such a compelling release. It is recommended for fans of Dying Fetus, Cattle Decapitation, and Decapitated.
