Aseptic is a death metal duo from San Jose, California (a drummer and a vocalist/guitarist). Given their roots, it is not surprising how much they sound like Possessed. In fact it is more of a grimier, dirtier Possessed, sort of like if the band decided to start covering Obituary songs. It is a call-back to a simpler time. When death metal was truly deadly.
This is a very short EP, just four songs and just over ten minutes in length total. The songs fly by quickly, only one of them breaks the three-minute mark. They usually consist of a slower swampier section, followed by a much faster riff that takes up much of the rest of the track. There is not a lot of room for frills here, it is just pure, unadulterated, face-melting death metal.
Aseptic has been around for a little while now and have released a couple of full-lengths. I would not have heard of this band if not for the promo that was sent to me. Now I have some more stuff to look into.
