Finnish technical/ symphonic death metal here as Whorion assault your aural sensibilities with their debut album "The Reign of the 7th Sector". Fleshgod Apocalypse and Dimmu Borgir are two bands that come to mind when taking in the keyboard layers, frantic riffing, intense tempo changes, and extreme growls/screams. "When the Moon Bled" and the maniacal drumming within the bee swarming "Forbidden Light" showcase a quintet that isn’t leaving anything to chance – leveling the listeners in a compact 36 minutes.
Finland’s extreme metal affinities reign once again – add Whorion to the new gem line.
