It starts with a rumble and ends with devastation. Primal Code are a death metal bulldozer on a mission to level the world.
Formed in 2021 in Chicago, Illinois, this trio of dogged diehards have swiftly mutated into one of the heaviest and most distinctive bands in the modern death metal scene. Poised to release their debut album, vocalist/guitarist Gene Marino, bassist Will Lindsay and drummer James Farn were always determined to forge their own path through the underground.
For those that crave the arcane magic of old school death metal, Primal Code are already speaking your language. Inspired by the grotesque greats of the ‘90s, from Death and Obituary to Napalm Death and Skinless, the Chicagoan trio have conjured something unique and refreshingly foul. After one demo, one EP (Subliminal Master) and a split release (with The Gavel), they signed a deal with esteemed underground imprint Relapse, and began work on their first full-length album.
And here it is: Opaque Fixation. On what is an exhilarating and remarkable debut, Primal Code slam down a new blueprint for abominable aggression, crushing everything in their path with militant, mid-paced brutality. Recorded at Bricktop Studios in their hometown,
feral anthems like Anapsid, Totem and Extinction give the old school spirit a jolting dose of cutting edge ferocity, with a powerful production, artwork from Chicago tattooist Dan Gardea, and gleefully twisted, mind-expanding lyrics from the depths of Gene Marino’s brain.
