Depressants by DEFECT DESIGNER

Defect Designer have kept progressing with each album and they seem to have reached the acme with this one. It's wildly diverse and refreshing while retaining their core sound; it's a marvel how they continue to remain death metal or keep reverting to it after unabashedly exploring various sounds and imbibe influences from so many unrelated and unexpected styles. No song is redundant or sounding too similar at this point; they have something or the other hidden in it, often towards the end. This is decidedly their most ambitious album and they've outdone themselves on this one to offer a singular, exhilarating experience for the true prog-minded fans of the style. With the music on "Depressants" being as colourful as the Ian Miller artwork, it is anything but what the album title suggests - that's just the classic tongue-in-cheek Defect Designer for you.
