Dying Dogma is far from being an easy listen or is the kind of company which rewards a casual attitude attention wise, towards its fury but for violent, uncompromising technically bred progressive death metal it is a confrontation which once struck down by, is a scar which deeply lingers whilst inciting strong reactions. The album comes from Canadian metallers Hybreed Chaos, a band featuring ex-Paroxysm drummer Franck Camus and current Cryptopsy session bassist Olivier Pinard. It is a release which has little time on seduction, its every breath and action a vicious rage of sonic imagination and brutal enterprise, and provides little comfort in its touch or exploits, just savage intensity and intentions aligned to a craft and endeavour which ignites the imagination.
The PRC Music released Dying Dogma moves through its brief intro, Birth of Chaos, into the instantly ferocious and debilitating A Machine for Pigs. From its start the vocals and guitars need little persuasion in scoring and threatening the senses, the guttural squalls a vindictive causticity with equal poison in the twisting and intriguing guitar exploration. Around this the rhythmic framework has an intimidation and eagerness which can snap at any moment, whilst grooves and hooks add their unique insidious temptation throughout the tempestuous fury to lure in the emotions to greater depths, their poise and fascination waking further an appetite for the challenge ahead.
Dismembered Purity crawls through the ear and all over the senses, its doomy presence a canvas for the crippling inventive rhythmic battering and the corrosive riffing to add their ruinous nature to. There is arguably not the fluidity to the song of its predecessor, some of the certainly enthralling elements lying uneasy within the soiling intent, but equally the jagged mix of ideas, though making the encounter less persuasive at first, creates a carnal torment which grows into a strong convincing of the imagination across numerous violations.
The following Emperor also takes a relatively slow consumptive meandering of the senses and psyche, its smouldering toxicity expressing a transfixing furnace of inventive manipulation and technical maliciousness which tests and provokes the listener into eager if distressed attention. Its successor Defiled Servitude is much the same, it’s even more bedlamic ingenuity and torrent of ideas a gripping yet nasty compromise for the passions and imagination. Repetition, a tempting drone, and sonic psychosis all litter the experiment on the psyche whilst its riffery and rhythmic frame enslave a now greedy appetite for the assault of the album.
Dying Dogma is completed by Charogne and Silent Agony, both two more mountainous and monstrous sonically esurient savages built on technical invention and warped imagination. The first of the pair offers the album’s most contagious and almost addictively straight forward moment yet, though it still explores a depth of ideation which is just spellbinding. The closing song matches this to leave the album at its strongest point, the track a devil bred slab of creative vehemence that works on every aspect of the senses and emotions. A release for those with a taste for the likes of Gorguts, Cryptopsy, Immolation, and Devourment, Dying Dogma is an album which makes you work and work hard before revealing its full might but makes it all worthwhile in the long run. If an easy metal driven life is for you than Hybreed Chaos certainly is not.
