Dead Man’s Switch – Dismemwhore
Dead Man’s Switch, from Wausau, offer a strong mix of deathcore and technical death metal on “Dismemwhore.” The track begins with violent deathcore vocals before switching to a powerful, groove-driven attack that prioritises heaviness and technique over speed. The guitar technique is highly sophisticated, sometimes reminding the strength and complexity of Cannibal Corpse. Musically, the song leans toward technical death metal, but the vocals are strongly rooted in the traditional death metal growl style. The artwork is a representative match to the music, emphasising the explicit and disturbing visual elements associated with the 1990s extreme metal movement. The song maintains a high level of energy throughout, and at the 2:20 mark, there are traces of old-school Sepultura, especially from the band’s early years. The song’s strong identity comes from its combination of groove, technical performance, and constant brutality. Fans of groove-oriented death metal, technical riffing, and extreme metal in general will find much to like here.
