Synopsis

Album Description

Tearing Through the Roots is the long awaited debut full length from Rochester, NY's Sulaco. With previous releases through Relapse (2003's self titled EP) and a split with SOILENT GREEN via Crash and Burn Cartel, SULACO have established themselves as a band playing a style that is "spasmodically progressive as it is abrasively visceral". Tearing Through The Roots marks the bands first ever full-length and continues in their tradition of amazing musicianship, progressive songwriting, and the best forward-thinking metal available today.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"After an eponymous EP on Relapse in 2003, Sulaco (the name of a spaceship in "Aliens") makes its full-length debut on Willowtip. This Rochester, NY band fits the classic Willowtip mold - technical death/grind, with equal balance between technique and brutality. The midrange vocals are strongly reminiscent of Chuck Schuldiner, and at times the riffs bring to mind Death's prog leanings. However, this stuff is much more dissonant than anything Death ever did, with lots of atonal, complex chords. The dissonance is finely controlled, and there's much variation in tempo, which helps sustain interest. Occasional electronic textures creep in, which are frankly quite awesome. As is typical with Willowtip releases these days, the crisp production emphasizes clarity over heaviness. However, in one song, a rehearsal room intro drops like a sack of bricks into the song proper - it sounds killer. More production touches like that and more of those crazy electronics, please! Sulaco is onto something unique with this "sci-fi grind" sound."
