Opaque Fixation, the debut full-length from Chicago trio PRIMAL CODE, is out today on Relapse Records!
On what is an exhilarating and remarkable debut, PRIMAL CODE slams down a new blueprint for abominable aggression, crushing everything in their path with militant, mid-paced brutality. Featuring a former member of Indian, PRIMAL CODE’s ethos is firmly rooted in no-frills, no nonsense death metal. From the opening moments of Opaque Fixation, the band’s intent is clear: every second counts and every second has to be packed with the most aggressive and disgusting riffs possible.
Recorded at Bricktop Studios in their hometown, feral anthems like “Anapsid,” “Totem,” and “Extinction” give the old-school spirit a jolting dose of cutting-edge ferocity, with a powerful production, dazzling artwork from Chicago tattooist Dan Gardea, and gleefully twisted, mind-expanding lyrics from the depths of vocalist/guitarist Gene Marino’s brain.
