"Organic Hallucinosis," released in 2006 by Polish death metal band Decapitated, is a relentless and intense journey into the darker realms of extreme metal. This fourth studio album, originally released on Earache Records, packs a powerful punch in just 32 minutes, showcasing the band's signature blend of death metal, groove metal, deathcore, and grindcore.
The album opens with "A Poem About an Old Prison Man," setting the tone for the raw and aggressive sound that follows. Tracks like "Day 69" and "Revelation of Existence (The Trip)" highlight Decapitated's technical prowess and brutal energy, while "Visual Delusion" and "Flash-B(l)ack" offer moments of intricate musicianship and brutal breakdowns. The album closes with "Invisible Control," leaving the listener with a sense of the band's unyielding intensity.
"Organic Hallucinosis" is a testament to Decapitated's ability to push the boundaries of extreme metal, delivering a record that is as challenging as it is rewarding. The album's re-issue in 2010 on 180 gram gatefold vinyl further cemented its status as a classic in the genre, appealing to both longtime fans and newcomers to the band's discography.
