Jordan Varela knows death metal; the essence of it runs through his veins. He’s the drummer for the crushing Lust Of Decay, the multi-instrumentalist behind the ferocious music of Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement and an ex-member of legends of brutality, Lividity…and those are just the most notable of his achievements in the scene. So, when Varela announces a new solo project, a new album overflowing with rampant death metal riffs, firmly anchored to the roots of the genre but hitting with a powerful contemporary impact…well, you sit up and you pay attention. Under the name of Dichotomy, Jordan Varela is set to unleash the fiercely focussed intensity of Lucifer Owns The Fence – featuring nine tracks of unequivocal death metal.

There’s no messing around on Dichotomy’s debut, as a savage vocal roar ushers in blistering opening track and first single, ‘He Is…’. The rhythms are wild, frantic, dizzying, the riffs twisting and turning before locking into passages of incredible force and power. It’s a case of hanging on for dear life as a maelstrom of precision performance threatens to tear you apart. However, there is nothing chaotic about the music of Dichotomy, as within the maze of fury and complexity that characterises tracks like the searing ‘What A God’ there is a very definite plan and structure. Gleaming hooks wait to ensnare and everything crackles with an electrifying energy as addictive riffs draw you in ever deeper, revealing an inherent sense of melody within the tornado of sound. With every listen these tracks hit harder and harder, from the unflinching, determined attack of ‘Better To Be Drowned With A Millstone Around The Neck’ to the jabbing, thrusting riffs and screaming harmonics of ‘The Greatest Lie Ever Told’. This album is not background listening; it deserves your full attention and demands to be played loud. Finishing with the massive impact of ‘Satan Will Kill You’ – unswerving in message and music – Lucifer Owns The Fence will leave you exhilarated and utterly destroyed.

Every note, every beat, every excoriating roar on Lucifer Owns The Fence is the work of Jordan Varela and that singularity of vision, purpose and performance has resulted in one of the most formidable and accomplished albums of his career. Lucifer Owns The Fence will be released by Rottweiler Records on July 3rd, so be prepared for a monumental death metal assault!
