The Extremity Of Dominion: A Chaotic Symphony from Poland’s Metal Underworld
Alright, buckle up, because The Extremity Of Dominion by Necrömanzer, Torpor, Gallower, and Bestiality is not your grandma's jam. Released in 2019 on the First Wave Only label, this Polish metal monstrosity smashes together Death Metal, Thrash, Black Metal, and Heavy Metal like it's making a sonic smoothie—but don't expect anything fruity here. This album tastes more like burnt motor oil mixed with rage.
Let’s dive into two tracks that’ll stick to your brain like gum under a death-metal stage: “Tower of Doom” and “Satan’s Cannon.”
First off, “Tower of Doom” hits you like an anvil dropped from heaven—or maybe hell? Either way, it’s heavy as f. The riffs are relentless, chugging along like a freight train possessed by demons. What sticks out most is how the vocals alternate between guttural growls and banshee-like shrieks—it’s like they’re trying to summon something ancient (and probably pissed off). Halfway through, there’s this breakdown that feels like the floor collapsing beneath you. You know those moments where everything slows down just long enough for you to realize you're about to die? Yeah, that’s what this track does to you.
Then there’s “Satan’s Cannon,” which sounds exactly like its title implies—a fiery blast straight outta Lucifer’s armory. The drumming on this one deserves special mention; it’s fast, precise, and utterly unhinged, like someone set a metronome on fire. And oh man, the solo near the end—pure chaos wrapped in distortion. It’s the kind of thing that makes you want to smash things while also marveling at how tight the musicianship is. By the time it ends, you might find yourself staring at your hands wondering if you’ve accidentally signed over your soul.
Now, let’s talk vibe for a sec. With song titles like “Raped By The Devil” and “Love Destroyer,” subtlety clearly isn’t their thing—and honestly? That’s refreshing. This album doesn’t care if it offends or overwhelms. It exists to crush skulls and melt faces, and damn does it deliver. If you’re looking for happy-go-lucky tunes to play at your next garden party, keep scrolling. But if you dig raw aggression paired with razor-sharp technical skill, give this beast a spin.
Here’s the kicker though—if you listen closely, past all the mayhem, there’s almost a sense of humor lurking in these songs. Like, who names a track “Necromancer” without cracking a grin? Or writes lyrics about Satan’s artillery without thinking, Man, this rules? Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but sometimes extreme music can feel so serious it forgets to have fun. Not here. These guys sound like they’re having the time of their lives shredding eardrums and breaking taboos.
So yeah, The Extremity Of Dominion. It’s brutal, it’s wild, and it’s got enough energy to power a small mosh pit apocalypse. Just don’t blame me when your neighbors start complaining—or worse, banging their heads along with you.
