Welcome back to the Core Breakdown! Here’s the recent release from Vicious Embrace, Winter Demonstration. This is some seriously gritty hardcore you do not want to miss out on. While there may only be three songs, each one packs one hell of a punch.
“Vicious Embrace” is a pure warm-up instrumental track, lingering in with gloomy tension, while also giving us a small taste for the hectic instrumentation to come. “Impure Harvest” has the band offering their full potential on display. The aggressive barking from the vocals is met with the contorting guitar work and churning drums. Together, the band emits this cold air, really driving home the emotion within their work. “Cease Life” takes a brief period to warm-up, all before unleashing this tension fueled shredding. Rather than go for straight forward speed, the material takes its time to trudge forward, dropping this dense emotional tone throughout their instrumentation.
