Description
Excavated from deep below the earth, out of an underground cave of miasmic ooze, comes the eponymous debut demo from Plasmodulated.
Plasmodulated is the solo death metal endeavor of Myk Colby (Wharflurch). On the 5 tracks here, Colby seamlessly blends Floridan and Finnish death metal into a sound all his own.
With guitars tuned up instead of down, this release is an ode to a time when death metal was still in its infancy. Transitioning away from the thrash-y, galloping riffs into something more murky and guttural.
Comparisons to Wharflurch are inevitable, but gone are the psychedelic tendencies on this side project. This is just gruesome and grimy – going straight for the jugular.
All songs were written, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Myk Colby. There is a guest guitar solo by Cody Davidson (Sanguisugabogg, Putrid Stu) on the title track. Protoplasmic Transformation also features a guest guitar solo, this time by Peter Blanchet of Pale Gaze.
