INTRUSIVE COMPULSIONS, MANIAC BEHAVIORS
AN EMPTY CARCASS NOW A BLACK VEIL
CRYPTIC DREAMS GOING FASTER
SPLIT YOUR TIME
SIGHTS WITH NO MEANING
AT LEAST FOR YOUR PRESENT SELF
EMPTY EXPECTATIONS
TOO FRAIL TO MOVE FORWARD
PAVING NO WAY FOR THE FUTURE
EVERY LIGHT TURNS TO DARKNESS
GO SO FAST
DON'T SPEND YOUR TIME DAYDREAMING
YOUR LAST STEP IS ON ITS WAY
44 MINDS, 44 MINDS
IDEAS FEEL SO PLENTY
A GARDEN FULL OF UNDERGROWTH
MOLDED CONSTRUCTIONS LEFT ALONE
EMPTY EXPECTATIONS
TOO FRAIL TO MOVE FORWARD
PAVING NO WAY FOR THE FUTURE
EVERY LIGHT TURNS TO DARKNESS
GO SO FAST
DON'T SPEND YOUR TIME DAYDREAMING
YOUR LAST STEP IS ON ITS WAY

WHY DO I DENY
THAT I CAN STILL SPEAK
FREELY TO MYSELF
I CAN WATCH THE CLOUDS FLY BY
MOVING JUST FOR THE SAKE OF TIME
I WILL BE ANCHORED TO REALITY
I CAN'T LET THE PAIN NOR SUFFERING
SLIP ME AWAY
SO I CHOOSE TO WELCOME THEM
AS THEY WILL BE
I CHOOSE THE ABSOLUTE
I CHOOSE THE ABSOLUTE
IT IS THE WARM AND COLD SURROUNDING US
IS IN THE GROUND IN WHICH WE'LL LAY
IT COMES FROM WITHIN YOU
THE SORROW
THE JOY
THE EMBRACE OF DESPAIR
SO I CHOOSE TO WELCOME THEM
AS THEY WILL BE, AS THEY COME
I CHOOSE THE ABSOLUTE
IT SPARKS LIKE A BLEAK LIGHT
CAN IGNITE AS A BURNING PASSION
AND TURN ITS WAY AROUND
IT SPARKS LIKE A BLEAK LIGHT
CAN IGNITE AS A BURNING PASSION
AND TURN ITS WAY AROUND
THE IMPENDING CONCLUSION IS FRIGHTENING
IS TORMENT BEYOND BELIEF
I HAVE TO BE HERE IN THIS MOMENT
I MUST LET MYSELF FEEL
I HAVE TO BE HERE IN THIS MOMENT
I HAVE TO BE HERE IN THIS MOMENT
I MUST LET MYSELF FEEL
I CHOOSE THE ABSOLUTE
I CHOOSE THE ABSOLUTE
I CHOOSE THE ABSOLUTE
CHOOSE THE ABSOLÜT!!

about
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Critical Defiance’s highly anticipated third album, The Search Won’t Fall… , on vinyl LP format. Unspeakable Axe Records is taking care of the CD edition.
The Chilean metal force known as Critical Defiance has something for every thrash fan out there. Not in the sense of being homogenized and generic, but in their alchemical and nearly magical melding of blitzkrieg tempos, dizzying technicality, aggressive shouts and gang vocals, and--rarest of all for a post-1990 thrash act--a healthy dose of actual, memorable melody. Now about to drop their third full-length like a bomb from a warplane, they have added a new element to the mix: just a taste of the eerie melancholy and harsh melodrama of black metal.
Their release schedule has been nearly as fast as their music, with the debut (Misconception) coming in 2019, and its follow-up (No Life Forms) in 2022. They have let even less time elapse from then until this new platter's arrival, taking line-up changes in stride and pushing forward relentlessly regardless. The addition of Mauricio Toledo on guitar (just prior to their previous album) has pushed their music in new directions. That black metal aspect--some tremelo riffing, some blastbeats, bits of a distinctly new melodic sensibility--lends the album an updated feeling that sets it apart from its predecessors, while by no means abandoning the thrash foundation that has served them so well. All of this ambition is well-served by a terrific production job that balances just the right amount of rawness and polish. Three albums in, Critical Defiance are poised to deliver their most ferocious work yet. Angry yet uplifting, full of the spirit of true metal both old and new, it's a record that only these guys could make.

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names.

Nocturnus + Morbid Saint + Voivod maybe kinda? Weirdo technical death thrash that rules.

If you told me this was Nekromantheon I wouldn't know the difference. That's not a knock on this either, I love Nekromantheon and this is pretty masterful black thrash for sure.
