Editor's note

Origin's technical death metal, formed in Massachusetts.

A band known for precise, aggressive instrumentation since 1997.

For a sense of their sound, try 'The Indiscriminate' or 'Truthslayer', both capture that precise, relentless energy.

Their 2002 album 'Saligia' became a significant release, with tracks like 'The Indiscriminate' showcasing their technical approach to death metal. The album's title track is noted for complex guitar work and James Wisniewski's vocal delivery. Songs like 'Truthslayer' from their top tracks maintain that established, aggressive sound.

Origin formed in Massachusetts in 1997 with a lineup that included vocalist James Wisniewski and guitarists Paul Ryan and Jeremy Turner. They went through early changes, like bassist Mike Flores and drummer John Longstreth leaving, and later saw Turner replaced by Mike Fortin in 2008.
