“MEDIA CONSUMPTION”: NEW PATHOLOGY SLAMZ 4 U

I’m not the resident Pathology fan around here, and I have no idea what Sergeant D. would make of the band’s new song, “Media Consumption,” which is now streaming on Lambgoat. But I actually really dig it, so I’m guessing he would hate it.

I’m not kidding when I say I dig it, either. The first time I listened to it, I was like, “Okay, diarrhea vocals and breakdown riffs, I get it.” Then it got to the guitar solo, and I was all, “WHOA, this solo is pretty sweet!” And then it got to the section after the guitar solo, and I realized I was head-bobbing in time with the music. And then I listened to the song again to make sure, and, yep — I like this.

So, there’s one of two possibilites here: either the song is terrible by slam standards, and thus Sergeant D. would hate it but non-slammers like myself will like it, or otherwise The Sarge is starting to have an influence on me. In which case, I look forward to actually enjoying Winds of Plague sometime in the near future.

Mosh here, then let me know if I’m going batty or what in the comments section. Pathology’s new album, Awaken to the Suffering, comes out September 13 on Victory.
