PLASMODULATED (USA) – ‘Plasmodulated’ CD

Excavated from deep below the earth, out of an underground cave of miasmic ooze, comes the eponymous debut demo from PLASMODULATED. PLASMODULATED is the solo death metal endeavor of Myk Colby (WHARFLURCH). On the five tracks here, Colby seamlessly blends Floridan and Finnish death metal into a sound all his own. With guitars tuned up instead of down, Plasmodulated is an ode to a time when death metal was still in its infancy: transitioning away from the thrashy, galloping riffs into something murkier and more guttural. Comparisons to WHARFLURCH are inevitable, but gone are the psychedelic tendencies on this side-project. Simply, PLASMODULATED is just gruesome and grimy – going straight for the jugular.
