Song Review: Synesis Absorption "Concealed"

Synesis Absorption released their 3rd song to date, "Concealed" on February 23rd, 2026. The track features some quite well-known musicians in the extreme metal scene, with drummer Mike Smith (ex-Suffocation) and bassist Steve DiGiorgio (Testament, Death) adding to the song.

"Concealed" introduces itself with a sparkling synth pad before abruptly launching into slamming double bass grooves, vibrating bass bends, and explosive guitar chugging. Soon, death metal vocals are brought into the fray, alternating between high screams and deep growls. Slower sections make way for blistering tempos and racing blast beats as the song picks up in intensity. Funky bass adds an extra element of groove to the typical death metal sound, making a fun blend of intensity and funkiness.

At just over 4 minutes, "Concealed" blends thrash, death metal, and an eccentric funk influence that reminded me of a Primus-esque sound. Overall, Synesis Absorption brings to life an equally brutal and grooving death metal sound that stands out from many other death metal bands I've heard. You can stream "Concealed" available on all platforms now!
