Paraphilia

Do you wish Cannibal Corpse would become even heavier? Do you fantasize that 1995 Morbid Angel would step into a time warp and appear on stage in front of you? Do you pine for a new Hate Eternal record? Do you wish all of those bands would lean a tad bit more into Devourment territory?

Friends, I hate to break it to you but none of those things is likely to happen today, so I present you the following: Paraphilia, the sickest death metal band you’ll hear today, this week, this month, and maybe even this year. Formed by Portland-based brothers SP and KRP (Maestus, ex-Arkhum, ex-Pillorian), the duo bring the blasts, riffs, bellows, grooves and yes, slams, in a visceral yet hook-based way. You’ll be headbanging AND you’ll remember what you just heard after just one listen. - MetalSucks

...Paraphilia launch into “Catalytic Heaving“, which marries frenzied hornet-swarm fretwork and titanic, pile-driving brutality — a union of boiling, serial-killer lunacy and cold-eyed thuggery — with neck-wrecking drum fusillades and a further mix of vocal bestiality for extra ruination." - No Clean Singing

Riffs as thick and chunky as what comes out of a blocked-up sewer. Drums and bass showcasing about as much control as a sticky-fingered kid being told not to touch anything and vocals with all the might of a raging torrent of water that’s just burst through a dam. - GBHB
