AlphaSix - "Communion of the Parasites"

Boston's favorite "Lovecraftian sci-fi horror metal trio" AlphaSix are back with a new single. "Communion of the Parasites" is the fourth chapter of the "Assimilate: Oceans" saga, and it's more of their extreme metal. Seriously, this song is insanely heavy and batshit crazy enough that even some of your metalhead friends will bristle from it. It's loud, it's heavy, it's filled with screaming vocals, and it's pretty great. This one in particular is reminding me of the digital hardcore movement of the 90's, but a metal version of that. "Communion of the Parasites" might be the heaviest song we've ever covered here at If It's Too Loud... Even the message of the song is extreme as it "... follows the first major terrestrial assault by AlphaSix's cultists as they weaponize humanity's food supply, transforming a wealthy resort town's inhabitants into ravenous, grotesque entities driven by uncontrollable hunger." Pretty insane that dystopian Lovecraftian sci-fi horror is now topical. 

AlphaSix say of their latest single:

"We're exploring the literal and metaphorical consumption of society. The prophecies showed us these parasitic leaders, gorging themselves on luxury while the world faces extinction. Their gluttony becomes their downfall as AlphaSix's influence spreads through every bite they take."
