If the Russian maniacs in Byonoisegenerator churned out records at the usual velocity of their music, they’d have released about 1,000 albums by now. But the pace of their releases has been much slower. First came Turbulent Biogenesis in 2015 (available here), then Neuromechanica in 2018 (reviewed here at our site), and now, seven years later, we’re going to get a third album, Subnormal Dives. It’s set for discharge on June 13th via Transcending Obscurity Records.

That seven-year wait means that many (most?) people trespassing on our site today will likely have no idea what they’re about to hear. This is a good thing.

Some people do have an idea, because Byonoisegenerator released a video single about a year ago (a song named “5mgInspiredVibes” that’s included as a bonus track on the new record), and more recently Transcending Obscurity has released two other songs from Subnormal Dives. Today we’ve bringing a third one, “UVB-76“. Continue reading »

ByoNoiseGenerator from Perm, Russia, are one of the most forward-thinking brutal death metal bands at the moment, because of their unusual willingness to incorporate new elements into their sound.

They broke out back in 2015 with the release of their debut, Turbulent Biogenesis (available here), to which my immediate reaction was the following: “Really??? What the fuck????”. Of course I listened to that release five times in a row, which was not an imposing challenge because it’s only about 14 minutes long. Listening to a saxophone in this kind of music was just mindblowing, because to be honest I had bought the CD and did not know what to expect.

In fact, one thing that I regret was not including this release in my top albums from that year. To be able to mix BDM, grind, and jazz elements in elaborate yet short songs, and make it work, is not an easy task. Continue reading »
