Transcendence Bot is an intense, equally abrasive and symphonic fusion of sounds coalescing into an album that asks what it means to be human in the face of possible total technological integration. “What? to be human,” which opened many DDS live sets on the recent US tour, warps distorted bass and a persistent vocal sample into a massive, anthemic catharsis. And the growls and guitar chugging of recent single “Profane Angelic Function” constitute some of the heaviest music DDS has ever made.
