Embrional - Absolutely Anti-Human Behaviours (2012)

   Embrional formed in 2003, and probably the nearly decade long period until their full-length debut wasn't passively spent, since "Absolutely Anti-Human Behaviours" became a musically quite mature and strong record.
   Their music had both technical and brutal death influenced tendencies. This alongside some very familiar guitar themes, album's sterile sound and the vocal style strongly reminded to early Immolation. Despite the returning references, the endeavours of creating their own specific sound could be sensed, mainly by their experiments of various song structures. In total the mix of the continuously coming diverse themes and sudden, frequent tempo switches resulting some pretty crazy main impression. But all compositions turned out so well, that it makes questionable if the band truly just experimented with the whole thing, or everything was so well written and calculated. Quite often it feels like if the main leads just trying to break the unity of the songs to live their own lives, but the some balance always keeps returning in some form - by a sharp riff, or by insane hammering, or even by a calm and slow melody. So actually it sounds like if the disharmony would get broken frequently by balance. The great variety of themes and musical solutions at one hand making the album challenging to go into, but the same time they having unifying effect. In general the production is great and all-round high quality, from sound to visual elements. The only thing that could keep "Absolutely Anti-Human Behaviours" from the masterpiece status is the too evident and frequently returning Immolation influence, cause it might take too much from the music's genuineness. But for prejudiced Immolation fans and for those who prefer insane brutality in any form, this is a must-listen-to album.
