Amputee operates at the intersection of raw doom and black metal, slowing time without abandoning aggression. The band moves between crushing weight and sudden acceleration, using tempo as a pressure tool rather than a fixed state. Our drummer plays in Amputee alongside Swazond, carrying intensity across extremes and sharpening control that directly feeds into Worship Pain.
Amputee
BUZZSAW DOOM
Amputee works primarily in low, grinding tempos, but the sound never softens. Riffs remain abrasive and direct, driven by black metal instinct rather than atmosphere. Drums emphasize repetition and blunt force, allowing patterns to wear the listener down through persistence. This is doom that stays raw, hostile, and physical.
Let The Weight Speak
At key moments, Amputee accelerates. Faster passages cut through the weight rather than relieving it, creating rupture instead of release. These shifts sharpen the surrounding heaviness and prevent stagnation. The drummer moves cleanly between drag and strike, maintaining cohesion as tempo changes. Worship Pain draws on this same approach when speed appears suddenly inside slower, pressure-loaded sections.
Amputee demands control regardless of speed. Slow sections require endurance and restraint. Faster sections demand precision without looseness. Any lapse shows immediately. This constant exposure reinforces discipline as a structural necessity rather than a stylistic choice. The drummer’s sense of timing, balance, and internal structure continues to develop here and carries directly into Worship Pain.
Control The Cosmos
Heavy Axe in the Lineage
Within the Worship Pain lineage, Amputee functions as the weight-bearing current. It brings doom pacing, raw abrasion, and volatile tempo shifts into the shared vocabulary. Worship Pain draws from this whenever movement slows without reducing intensity, or when speed appears as fracture rather than momentum. Amputee remains active, feeding mass and restraint into the larger structure.
