Debut album on Earache Records from US Alt-Metal act Tallah. Exhilaratingly fresh whilst incorporating nostalgic 90s nu-metal vibes – vocalist Justin Bonitz is a man possessed, wildly careering from blood curdling shrieks to lighting quick rap bars, and throw in electronic elements and all mighty riffs plus modern hardcore breakdowns. Matriphagy is a concept album about how an overprotective mother pushes her son to the edge of insanity through psychological and physical abuse. Having spent two decades trapped inside a glorified prison, and after some failed rescue/escape attempts, the son, in a state of heavy delirium, does the unforgivable to free himself from his mother's wicked hold. The definition of the word Matriphagy is ‘the consumption of the mother by her offspring.’
