Lovdahl, Ian Horrifically underrated, it’s a sheer terror that publications, reviewers, and death metal fans aren’t falling over themselves in effulgent praise for Nurture. Stop overlooking this and buy it now. Favorite track: In Worship, In Blood.

ewilt15 The scene is certainly over-saturated with tech-death, most of it good. That’s why it’s so exciting to stumble upon a standout like Nurture. The songs are well written and interesting, and the bass lines are every bit as fun as the guitar riffs. And just to save you the time, this is a Season of Mist album even though you’ll swear it’s Artisan. Favorite track: The Hammer Of Dogma.

Dan Curhan Intricate riffs intertwine with palpable Cynic influence on this proggy tech-death epic. Tons to digest in here, with decent dynamics and enjoyable arcs. Recommended for any fan of tech!

Jimmy McNulty Nurture is just as good as Paroxysm! I wrote about it here: toiletovhell.com/tech-death-thursday-nurture-from-deviant-process/ Favorite track: The Hammer Of Dogma.

🤘 So good it makes me want to return my Archspire merch. This is arguably the best tech death album ever. Spawn of Possession, Death, Necrophagist, Gorguts, Dark Matter Secret, Beach Boys, and Beyond Creation all in one. Favorite track: In Worship, In Blood.

Deviant Process Nurture Lyrics In Worship, In Blood Atop Cithaeron lies Amidst the lush of nature Through an empyreal rhyme Flows the words of the gods He who's claimed as virtuous Is beyond any mere assertion Of malice, evil and transgression Will be tempted Tempted to climb To reach the divine To perform the ascension Feel what is meant for those who indulge An eternal bliss A promise of no restraint Will be tempted Tempted to fall To lie among his kin Shed his purity and care Soul thrown against the wave of pleasure Be swept away Pure silky hills of skin Covered in grand passion Pheromonic death grip Eroding my resolve Above those degenerates I can’t allow I can’t allow this procession to take place And yet the voice of consciousness Tells me to give into the vice Give into the vice and join the ritual O! Adore him Wearing nothing but clear intentions Desires masquerading as some Eve Devouring the fruit Humiliated in front of this great buffoon Hoping to behold life Life shine like it never has As I enter in this sacred shrine I know I have been unmasked For what I truly am The light through which he sees Is now allowing me to witness Truly what's standing before me right now Seeing my own tear into me Flesh against flesh Blood against blood I was not meant to see As I was unmasked

Deviant Process Nurture Lyrics Asynchronous Bound by a desire that is not mine I find myself at the center of this most important Most solemn ritual A giving of the body A giving of the soul To the Great Beast Visited by figures unknown to me Men? Perhaps Homunculi themselves Animated by a power Which we both can't begin to grasp Peons in this ceremony Perennial torture Magical Mystic visions are pushed inside my mind Hemoglobin unwillingly Tasked to deliver the catalyst My soul enters the Nether A sea of consciousness Rushed by visions and thoughts That are not mine As I absorb each and every strand of information My body is probed Invaded by forms I could not describe Underground worlds etched in my Soul Sudden shift Blade deep Entrails out Fornication Aeons have gone by I am injected again Woken up in a bed A new person? Consciousness takes care of the mangled Body The Soul grows and promises To take care of the Whole Violence imposed upon every dimensions A schism occurs and there I and I and I go forth My body refuses to join me on my journey The Golem has been given a mission I ignore the nature of Our separation's too great The being we should have been Born from the Womb of the Whore Babalon! They have failed Our existence forfeit The ritual has failed Our being is broken Eternally out of sync

Syrtis Magna 05:57
Deviant Process Nurture Lyrics Syrtis Magna Crawling out of a sea of slime Every muscle burning from this effort It’s seemingly endless to regain the horizon It's seemingly endless to fill my lungs with air Purity it seems wasn't meant for me As I swim painfully I reminisce the feeling of breathing And what a loved one looks like Oh, what a fool I was Believing there was something for me Up in their midst I found myself in Pandaemonium How I thought ambrosia elevated myself Liberated me from apathy A fiery river in an ice-cold chalice Every feature of mine stripped Standing became an herculean feat Speech vile and indistinct Cascading like a flood of mud My body screamed for me to stop The fire eating at my very life The filth in me taking over Spewing out, out of control Sinking, reality blurring I thought, I need more More and more Inching deeper in the muck Exit the platitudes The conspirators who brought my woes Removing the cloaks to reveal A myriad of doppelgangers Laughing as I accept Welcoming my deserved castigation

Deviant Process Nurture Lyrics Homo Homini Deus An individual, a single person Atomic basis of the Machine Walking towards Colosseum Aggregator of souls Cogs grinding against each other Movement and friction translated to heat Like Hyperion's son radial crown Setting aflame the spirits of men Blazing through the bonds Which kept nuclei separate Concerns of personal nature Evaporate, mutate Thousands form a single arm Bringing down the scythe of the malcontent Homo Homini Deus Acting in self-preservation against itself No time for contemplation As the head of yet another divine being Is split from its earthly body Back to Nature, essence joining the mass Tsunami of bodies under one mind Pressure and density taking away individuality Acting as one, embodiment of the True Will A deflagration of divine expression Casting away the chains of decency Critical mass A single direction Until dispersion Homo Homini Deus Until critical mass again is reached Homo Homini Deus

Deviant Process Nurture Lyrics The Blessings Of Annihilation Infinite I awake Long past the First Impact Which saw me come to existence Initial blast of Life The mingling of body and soul Before either came to be Standing amidst a world of loneliness Densely populated Infected by a monstrous affliction Never alone I am isolated In a sea of my pointless kind To navigate in this nightmarish mass I find myself drawn to a force Forbidden Down in Cocytus Within the bowels of the earth Through a man-made labyrinth Mystical temple Holding a power infinite I am awake now Darkness surrounding me I cast aside the curtains That kept the light from reaching my mind The Fruit of Life brings us the Blessings Of Annihilation Infinite Fruit of life Bring us back Bring us back before life Please free us Free us from this suffering Fruit of life Bring us back before and Give us your Give us your Blessings

about

Too often in metal, limits and boundaries are pushed at the expense of taste. Bands and fans alike can be found showering bursts of attention onto the latest hotshots redlining along at the fastest BPMs, at whose got the most unintelligibly guttural vocals, at who can generate the most indistinguishably chaotic guitar tone and/or how picture-perfect and sanitized rhythm sections can deliver their click-tracked wares. More often than not, all this comes at the expense of clarity, soul, groove and, most importantly, good songs. For Québec City’s Deviant Process, this sort of thing has been happening too much and for too long. And while the progressive tech-death quartet are tuned in to their surroundings, the band have made a conscious decision to drop out, but not before turning on those obsessed with the likes of classic Death, Cynic and Pestilence as well as contemporaries Obscura, Beyond Creation and Fractal Universe with Nurture, their second full-length and first for Season of Mist.
“We aren’t the kind of band where it’s ‘showing off first, music second,’” exclaims guitarist/vocalist Jean-Daniel Villeneuve. “We want to have great compositions with solid ideas and structures. We want the listener to be able to sing the song, to be able to remember every passage and every riff, not just thinking, ‘Oh my god, I’m surrounded by 11,000 notes a second.’ We didn’t want to check tech-death boxes about what BPM we needed to have blast beats at, using the same amps this big band used or how much shredding we needed to include. We don’t want to be a band that’s only about achievements in technical ability. We want great music and that’s been our goal since the beginning.”
“The container is more important than the contents,” guitarist Stéphane Simard sums up. “We take time to have really good structures first before adding all the harmonies, melodies and musicianship stuff.”
Deviant Process’ history goes back to 2008 with Villeneuve kicking out the one-man symphonic death metal jams under the guise of Psychic Pain. A self-produced demo caught the attention of fellow axe-swinger and musical soul mate, Simard, who together with bassist Pierre-Luc Beaulieu and drummer Olivier Genest, completed the band’s original lineup. In 2011, the foursome recorded two-track debut EP Narcissistic Rage after a common bond led to a shift in musical direction.
“Psychic Pain was a solo project,” remembers Villeneuve, “and when Steph and I came together, more brutal and technical death metal was the common ground between the two of us. So, we decided to go that way because that’s more how we thought about music together and it fit...  more
