Shodan - Protocol of Dying (2015)

Shodan is a death metal threepiece from Wroclaw, Poland and -- cutting the long story short -- it's time you started keeping an eye on them. The band, still obscure to many, is now gaining musical momentum and Protocol of Dying, the trio's second offering, is a solid piece of extreme metal you should not miss this autumn.

The album was mixed and mastered by Arek "Malta" Malczewski which, to many, may be a perfect recommendation itself. Protocol of Dying sounds consistent and firm all along. Guitars are thick and heavy. Bass is distinct, maybe a bit dirty, but pleasantly throbs in the background, giving the low frequencies this reassuring feeling.
