Cole checks in with his year-end best-of list, but don’t let that picture confuse you—”Snakes for the Divine” doesn’t actually show up until #7 …see what else he chose!

Rating: 4/5

Decrepit Birth’s third studio album begins with a melodic guitar arrangement almost reminiscent of The Fucking Champs. The similarities, as you might expect, stop there. The band waste no time whipping out Schuldiner-esque riffs and guttural growls. The sound in general is still pretty much what you have grown to expect from Decrepit Birth––a modernized version of later Death material––but Polarity sees the band in their best form yet.

Arizona and North Carolina are the latest stops. Read on for the tour poster and link to complete dates!
