Biography
Album Review:The Dialectic- Alluvion EP
Demonic Deathcore 3.5/5
It’s no surprise after nearly a year of writing and developing the “Unholy Alliance”, The Dialectic are making a name for themselves with their debut EP “Alluvion “ and well on their way to local scene domination. This EP is brutal to say the least with haunting sequences on every song that just sound plain evil setting the mood and adding that little bit of flavor that makes a moment an experience. “Unsight“ is a blunt and bold statement declaring that what you see is what you get and they’re here to stay. The title track is a slow and low omen of brutality leaving the search for salvation a barren path.”Tabula Rasa”, Alluvion’s strongest number is hyped up with remorseless energy and demonstrates everything The Dialectic does well. The whispers of the final break down wrap the listener by the throat for a vicious assault leaving you fighting for your life. Front man Mitch Howie gives his all demonstrating his growl n’ roar on ”Death Rides Upon A Pale Horse” with face melting patterns and overlays he contributes to some of the EP’s heaviest moments. The closing track “Disgust for the Weak” will create a whirlpool of violence in every direction especially on the mosh call, “So this is where you stand when your lord’s dead and gone.” The Dialectic ends their debut with a devastating aftermath. This Release has all the potential in the world and if The Dialectic continues to focus on writing the best music they can and continue to be true to themselves, these guys and their solid EP will be untouchable.

The Dialectic yet another brutal ass group coming out of Texas, these guys are straight up classic deathcore that packs an outstanding punch that will leave your ears ringing for days! Their vocalist Mitch has an utterly amazing and truly devastating voice, not only are his lows incredibly demonic but it will make you want to kill everything around you. Judging by their EP "Alluvion" you know that these guys mean business, they are probably one of the most brutal sounding underground bands ive heard yet, from their crunchy chugs to their overwhelming breakdowns if you are into everlasting brutality then this band is for you! check them out! and buy their tunes on Itunes I have no idea why these guys haven't been discovered give them some more exposure! ♥

Tabula Rasa
The Dialectic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world is rotting, and I just don't give a FUCK.
Society has become a fucking joke.
Everyone is out to get me.
I hate the way things have become.
There is no way out.
Now watch as I pave my way to victory.
I am the greatest, nobody can harm me.
You want a battle? Well you'd better bring an army.
Pupils are dilating, it is becoming hard to breathe.
Every step that I take is in the wrong direction.
My body is nauseated from the fumes of genocide
I crawl in my shell, and die alone.
Ah, how I've longed for this day.
When I become just ANOTHER FUCKING OUTCAST!
My mouth is full of incisions, and all I can taste is blood.
Now soon, I'll be one with the dead.
As you look to the skies for the answers to nothingness.
Oh, nothingness. Nothingness, it's all we are, and all we'll ever be.
NOTHINGNESS
WE WERE LEFT ON THIS EARTH TO ROT
The song Tabula Rasa by The Dialectic is a powerful and intense commentary on the singer's frustration and disillusionment with the state of the world and society. The singer is fed up with the daily struggles and challenges they face and the decay and corruption they see all around them. They express a sense of hopelessness and despair, feeling that there is no way out of this situation.
Despite this, the singer is determined to forge their own path and become everything they have ever wanted to be, even if it means becoming an outcast. They see themselves as invincible and unstoppable, daring anyone to challenge them. However, this bravado is short-lived as the singer soon succumbs to the overwhelming sense of darkness and evil. They are consumed by the fumes of genocide and feel as if they are already dead. The song ends with a bleak reflection on the existential nothingness of humanity.
Overall, Tabula Rasa is a raw and powerful expression of the frustration and despair that many people feel in a society that seems to be crumbling around them. It is a call to arms for those who feel like outcasts to embrace their individuality and forge their own path in a world that often seems devoid of hope.
