release notes:
On their debut record, Pennsylvania technical death metal outfit
Distention-who count among their ranks current and former members of
Rivers of Nihil, The Last Ten Seconds of Life, Organ Trail, Visceral
Disgorge and The Kennedy Veil-establish themselves as a band to watch.
Taking a similar approach to the genre as later Job for a Cowboy or even
Black Crown Initiate, write clear, depressive death metal. The guitars
are groovy and discordant, with melodic solos that drive home the fact
that Distention's music is about mental illness and suicide. The
quartet's rhythm section performs with mechanical precision on Nothing
Comes from Death, which underscores the very dark and human elements of
Distention's music.
Nothing Comes from Death is concisely written, weighing in at eight songs
and 30 minutes; because of this, no track stretches out longer than it
can justify and Distention don't get lost in tech-death wankery. The
album ends on a depressing note, closer "Nothing Changes," that feels in
line with songs like "Manic Mental Failures," "Toxic Speculations" and
"Decaying."
"Nothing Comes from Death is a collection of songs that encompasses
topics such as the fear of death, the struggles of bipolar disorder, and
thoughts of suicide," vocalist Darren Liwen tells Decibel. "I wrote the
lyrics to these songs when I was at very low points while trying to
convey the chaos of anxiety and the uncertainty of life."
