Representing progressive metalcore from Poland, The Materia has pulled in comparisons from Porcupine Tree and Make Them Suffer to VOLA or After the Burial over the years. But overall, the most glaring influence present in their djent grooves is the almighty Meshuggah.
The Łódzka-based four-piece’s new single “Declaration of Hate” is devastatingly heavy, on par with the syncopated riffs of Koloss or obZen. With an animated visualizer by Dżoli Oliwia Piwko and mixing / mastering by Konrad Janiszewski (Heresy Denied, Strayfires), you can watch The Materia‘s latest video now.
