Mutagenic Host - The Diseased Machine (2025)
The Diseased Machine, released on January 3, 2025, is the debut album from London's death metal quintet, Mutagenic Host. The album delves into themes of technological apocalypse and the dehumanizing effects of artificial intelligence, presenting a narrative that critiques modern-day complacency and the looming threat of AI. Musically, the band draws inspiration from the 1990s Floridian death metal scene, infusing their sound with elements of hardcore and doom. Tracks like "Neurological Necrosis" and "Genestealer" showcase precise riffs, guttural vocals, and dynamic tempo changes, creating a relentless and merciless assault on the senses.
