Fragments of Psyche is the latest EP from Gruesome, and billed as an "homage to death metal's progenitors with a two-song slab of Death Human era worship". Basically an excuse to get a new song out there for the extreme metal masses, this EP introduces the stellar title cut, a barnstorming new song from the band that once again hones in on that classic Death sound, those Chuck Shuldiner styled growls, the menacing riffs, and pulverizing drums ever present as if that band has risen from the grave. As with their previous EPDimensions of Horror from 2016, Gruesome really are onto something here with keeping the tradition of Death alive. Here we also have their cover of "Choke On It", and it's of course fantastic...if you close your eyes you'll imagine its Death themselves. As an added bonus, demo versions of a few tracks off of Gruesome's debut Savage Land are included, more quality Death inspired brutality that makes this a worthwhile little morsel while we wait patiently for the bands next full-length release.
