Noise Trail Immersion - Tutta La Morte In Un Solo Punto [I, Voidhanger Records - 2025]

Dissonant, aggressive, and passionate, Noise Trail Immersion's latest, Tutta La Morte In Un Solo Punto, has the Italian death dealers pushing out a sonic assault that challenges the listener with its complexities and subtleties, as well as its full-on assault. The product of ten years of hard work and determination, their newest pits dissonance vs melodies, deepening each track with its enigmatic arrangements and structures. Thick and well-layered, Tutta adds a heavy sense of unease, and its shifting tones and patterns keep the listener on edge throughout its runtime. 

Built of a very strongly connected stack of nine tracks, Tutto La Morte In Un Solo Punto follows the chaotic pathway through dissonance and the more abstract to reach its death laden goals. Starting more or less in media res, "Divampa l'Ignoto" drops the listener straight into the fray, struggling to find a place in the thick tangle of guitar lines, pounding drums, and searing vocals. Chaos trumps confusion here, as Noise Trail Immersion show their skill with songwriting and arrangement, keeping the mix from getting too murky and obfuscated with the varied angles of attack. From the opener all the way to the closer, the eponymous "Tutta La Morte In Un Solo Punto," the guitars are the focus of the album, and will take a number of playthroughs to pick apart and fully enjoy. Like Theseus following the thread through the labyrinth, one can ride a tone through the delectably dissonant layers through each track, or one can just let go and let the majesty of sound pull them in whichever direction it chooses. Those familiar with the Gorguts' masterpiece Colored Sands will have a better foothold in the chaos and know how to navigate a bit more easily. That's not to say Tutto is a clone by any means, just that there is definitely strong influence on this record. Noise Trail Immersion takes this influence and adds a bit more aggressive urgency through the vocals, as well as a bit more frenzied chaos. An album that has twists and turns that are hard to predict, Tutto La Morte In Un Solo Punto keeps the listener guessing and on edge, all while delivering performance and excellent extreme metal.
 
Following up 2021's Curia with this viscous slab of dark and dissonant death, Noise Trail Immersion continue to up the ante and prove their skill in both musicianship and arrangement. To be both chaotic and restrained is a hard pairing to pull off, but the songs on Tutto La Morte In Un Solo Punto manages to do both and keep the album very engaging. It may not be a headbanger in the traditional sense, but what it lacks in tradition it makes up for in spirit and adventure. Keeping the audience engaged by varied guitar lines, layers, tones (and atones), and percussion, the Italian act's latest is an enjoyable treat for even the most seasoned death metal fan.
