DEATHTOPIA Remember the Pain CD

Hailing from Osaka, Japan, Deathtopia released their highly acclaimed EP Remember the Pain in March 2018. This release was a collaborative effort between the German label Splatter Zombie Records (handling the European release) and the Japanese label Obliteration Records (handling the Asian distribution). Since their formation in 2010, the band has become a prominent name in the international scene, known for their relentless blend of Goregrind and Melodic Death Metal. The EP features seven tracks that perfectly illustrate the band’s evolution, following the addition of Italian musician Marco (known for his work in Funeral Rape and Bowel Stew). Musically, Remember the Pain is a masterclass in Carcass-style surgical precision, heavily influenced by the medical-themed gore metal of Exhumed and Impaled. The record balances grinding intensity with surprisingly catchy, melodic guitar solos and technical riffing that pays homage to the legendary Death. The tracklist includes new anthems like the title track Remember the Pain, Misophonic Crescendo, and Forged in Red, alongside re-recorded versions of cult favorites such as Necro Massacre and Caesarean Section. These updated versions benefit from a more powerful and polished production that emphasizes the band's dual-vocal assault and tight musicianship. For fans of gore-drenched metal that doesn't sacrifice technical ability for brutality, this EP remains a cornerstone of Deathtopia's discography and a highlight for the Splatter Zombie Records roster.
