Canadian death metal quartet Harvested is now streaming their next death metal opus “Dysthymia”, and have teamed up with Slam Worldwide to give fans their first complete experience of the band's most ambitious work one day before its official August 1st release. The full album premiere represents the culmination of a journey that began in late 2022, when the band started crafting the material that would become their sophomore effort. They share their excitement:
“Our amalgamation of styles and influences can be heard in this album, and we can’t wait to present it to the world, considering the 2022 EP did so well, and it was just our debut. It’s a level up in production, songwriting, and musical prowess, so this album will be what Harvested is all about. Heavy, aggressive, in-your-face experience; riffs that hook and engage the listener and keep them wanting more."
“Dysthymia” presents nine tracks of devastating extreme metal that seamlessly blend technical proficiency with crushing brutality. The thematic focus on mental illness provides a cohesive narrative thread throughout the 31-minute runtime, with each track exploring different aspects of psychological struggle through the lens of extreme metal aggression. This approach represents a maturation from their earlier work, maintaining brutality while adding psychological depth.
The partnership with Slam Worldwide for the premiere recognizes the album's impact within the brutal death metal and slam communities, while acknowledging the band's broader appeal across multiple death metal subgenres. Harvested is recommended for fans of Cattle Decapitation, Decapitated, and Cannibal Corpse.
