Origin's specialty is the kind of inhumanly technical,
high-speed death metal that causes listeners to sit
back and say, "Wow, how on earth do they play that
stuff?" There are few parts of this CD where the drums
(which are heavily triggered and almost electronic
sounding) are not going at full speed -- either with
some kind of blastbeat or double-bass drum part -- and
about half the time, they're doing so in some
difficult, uneven time signature. Meanwhile, the two
guitars are also playing complicated parts,
interweaving and harmonizing with one another rather
than merely playing the same riffs or splitting up into
lead versus rhythm roles. But, as amazing as much of
the playing is, some of the songwriting seems to suffer
under the weight of all the technicality; that is, the
music is impressive as you listen to it, but it is not
all memorable once it stops playing. ("Insurrection"
and "Perversion of Hate," which have some interesting,
almost black metal-tinged guitar melodies, are a couple
of exceptions.) One more thing to point out is that,
while the album cover and title both suggest some sort
of futuristic/sci-fi/outer-space aesthetic, that really
isn't the case. The lyrics actually deal with fairly
standard topics of human suffering (including a song
about the 9/11 tragedy, "Perversion of Hate") and
existential dread in general. In any case, this album
is a fairly good example of technical death metal circa
2002, but it is still a little more "impressive" than
it is strictly enjoyable from a pure musical
standpoint.
