Matt Miller’s Technical Death Metal Masterpiece: “Fiber Tormentum”
Introduction to “Fiber Tormentum”
Technical death metal virtuoso Matt Miller is poised to release his seventh full-length album, “Fiber Tormentum,” on September 12th via Exitus Stratagem Records. This album marks a significant evolution from his previous instrumental works, introducing a full band that includes Jordan Kelso (drums, synth), Justice Robinett (bass), and Biko Wright (vocals). Each member contributes a unique energy, amplifying the album’s sonic intensity and emotional resonance.
New Single: “Effectively Neutralized”
Earlier this summer, the first single, “Descent into Violence,” was released alongside a visualizer and playthrough. Now, the band is ready to unveil their next track, “Effectively Neutralized.”
Musical Direction and Themes
According to Miller, “This track establishes the tone for our new LP, Fiber Tormentum. It makes a bold statement by blending melodicism and memorable hooks with the relentless elements of technical death metal. This combination creates a unique mixture of ferocity and intensity that delivers an emotional experience, which can sometimes be lost in this genre’s inhuman technicality.” Miller aims for their authenticity to resonate with listeners, setting them apart from other artists in the genre.
About “Fiber Tormentum”
“Fiber Tormentum” is an eight-track opus that pushes the boundaries of technical death metal. The album features clean vocals, intricate guitar work, and a theatrical sound that is both memorable and intense. Lyrically, it explores a narrative where extraterrestrial forces manipulate human DNA to subjugate humanity, merging speculative fiction with contemporary anxieties. The album cover, crafted by the late Joshua Nassaru Ward of Voraath, adds a poignant visual dimension to the project’s thematic depth.
Commitment to Excellence
Miller emphasizes the band’s commitment to excellence, experimentation, and emotional authenticity, stating, “The album represents a milestone in our evolving musical journey, with even greater ambitions for future work.” Listeners can expect a fusion of intricate musicianship and emotionally charged narratives, drawing inspiration from death metal legends like Necrophagist and Spawn of Possession, while channeling the ambient intensity of artists such as Devin Townsend and Rivers of Nihil.
