Relapse Records presents Opaque Fixation, the fierce debut album from Chicago’s PRIMAL CODE, featuring members from the acclaimed noise/doom band INDIAN. This record delivers uncompromising death metal, driven by relentless riffs and intense aggression from start to finish. Guitarist and vocalist Gene Marino explains that the lyrics explore themes of societal fragility and the consequences of a technology-driven apocalypse, inviting listeners to interpret the message personally. The opening track “Anapsid” exemplifies this with its powerful drum intro and savage guitar assault, underscored by snarling vocals that confront the collapse of civilization. Opaque Fixation firmly establishes PRIMAL CODE’s dedication to raw, unyielding sonic destruction.
