The debut EP by this project of U.S. multi-instrumentalist Andy Schoengrund (ex-Embalm, ex-Feral Light). A well conceptualized take on tried-and-true Death Metal, while pushing the limits of the genre itself, via a sculpted rhythmic churn colliding with off kilter riffs and raspy Ross Dolan style vocals. Vanishing Grasp shares some molecular structure with Immolation in parts, but takes it to otherworldly realms and unexpected directions, the ambient interludes and interspersions casting a gray and ominous hue broadly across its 7 tracks. If you ever wondered where the future of Death Metal is headed, Vanishing Grasp may offer some crucial insight.
