This is easily one of the most anticipated releases this year and the two tracks that have been revealed met with a great response. It only showcases the band’s multi-faceted music and their knack of combining various elements to create something unique and also effective in the style. Metal Injection premiered another excellent track AT THIS LINK and Austin Weber had this to say about it –
“2021 has already been an exceptionally good year for technical death metal born of a dissonant death metal persuasion, and Replicant will undoubtedly be counted among the best of the year when it’s all said and done”

Unheralded death metal kings Replicant return with an album that will send shock waves through the scene. They’ve honed their brand of technical, dissonant and groovy death metal and forged a sound that’s nigh unparalleled. They’ve distilled the best elements of them all into a sonically potent, visceral and frankly devastating album that’s perfect in nearly all aspects. This is the sound of death metal of the times – it’s forward-thinking, suitably dissonant, effortlessly catchy, semi-technical and simply explosive in its execution. There are various twists and turns that keep things interesting and even unpredictable, without derailing its powerful momentum. It’s rare to come across an album that’s so well-rounded, impactful and one that leaves a lasting impression. Replicant have not only completely surpassed expectations from people with their new one, but have set new standards for contemporary death metal with ‘Malignant Reality’.
