Chaos Plague are from Italy and this is their first EP of Progressive Death Metal.
The music is technical as you would imagine, with interesting riffs and arrangements for each of the three songs on this EP.
This is a combination of Death Metal and Progressive Metal which means we get the Death Metal parts with angular riffing, but we also get more relaxed and calmer moments with clean vocals. These clear vocals are competent enough but for me the growling steals the show as these deeper grunts sound like monolithic stone slabs dragging against each other.
Apart from the angular fretwork the drums are exercises in precision and the bass is much more audible than the norm.
The 17 minutes of Metal on this EP hits the spot and hopefully they can develop their style even further for their next release. Very promising indeed.
