CYBERGRIND - TRANSCEND (*NEW-CD, 2000, Rowe) Mick Carlisle of Mortification!

CYBERGRIND – Transcend

(NEW CD, 2000, Rowe Productions)

A crushing and experimental entry in the late-’90s Christian death metal underground, Cybergrind’s Transcend blends brutal aggression with industrial textures, ambient interludes, and forward-thinking songwriting. Released in 2000 on Rowe Productions, this album stands as a bold and unconventional statement from a band pushing beyond genre boundaries.

Featuring Mick Carlisle of Mortification, Transcend delivers relentless death metal riffing alongside atmospheric instrumentals, brief noise pieces, and extended, complex compositions. The result is a record that feels both chaotic and intentional—alternating between suffocating heaviness and eerie, cerebral soundscapes.

Tracks like “Transcend,” “Tragedy Strikes,” “Brainwashed,” and “The Complaints of the Dead” anchor the album with full-length death metal assaults, while shorter instrumental and experimental pieces act as transitions, creating a continuous and immersive listening experience. This is not background music—it’s an album meant to be absorbed as a whole.

A must-have for fans of Mortification, extreme Christian metal, and late-’90s underground death metal that isn’t afraid to take risks.
