Origin is one of those death metal bands that is trying to push the limits of music in terms of speed and brutality. In my opinion, death metal of this sort often falls flat and the songs become highly technical but incoherent, and the songwriting suffers. Origin, however, manage to keep it together and don't get totally lost in the technicality and brutality. While I have all the Origin albums, I have not listened to them enough yet to give a rundown of how this album differs from the others. They are all solid albums, and my subjective opinion is that the album that followed Informis, Echoes of Decimation, is the best one. The self-titled debut and the new one, Antithesis, are both good as well. If you like one of them you will probably like them all. There is some incredible fast and technical playing on this album. Probably my favorite of the more extreme death metal bands.Read full review
I know already, you sitting there thumbing through endless reviews and you have come to this one. But this is another one you need for Origin, just to complete your collection in sheer brutality and brutal speed. This was the second album released through Relapse Records. This album has Paul Ryan and Jeremy Turner returning in gutairs, but this introduced the raw talent of a clubbie like me in Kansas: Mike Florez. Then John Longstreth returns on drum barrage with a new singer at the time, James Lee. This was an album that Longstreth was on before he exercised his talents later on with bands like Exhumed, Red Chord, Skinless and Dim-Mak. Informis brought this band to another regeneration, cause one of their best known songs is on this. I am talking about Portal, which just happen to be one of their closers in doing live shows. But they remake Mental Torment fromt he first self-titled album and actually make it faster. Plus some overpriced Japanese albums have that extra bonus track: The remake of Death's Flattening Of Emotions. So I would just get the regular US release, and save youself 40 bugs. Imformis is around 5 to 15, depending on where you get it. Again, sheer brutality and so much of an onslaught of vocals, this album helped brings these guys around to, at times, a 4th vocal maiming. This was best desribed as "Sci-fi Death" by Mike Florez. (I should know, that is what he told me at the time at Bottleneck!) But anyway, do you really need me to tell you how great this album is? You already know you need it if you cared to read this thing, just based on sheer complexity and sweeps alone, it is a must-own! So get this one, it is worth every penny you fork over for it. You just need to get it, okay? One of the best albums you will ever own. It is so brutal and, yet, so right! Get it as soon as you can, if you do not have it already, what are you waiting for....Read full review
