NORM
REJECTION – Deconform/0002
Reciprocal Records
Band names often serve as a concise indication of a
group's musical direction or identity. In the case of Malta-based NORM
REJECTION, a band active since 1993 with a catalog that includes demos,
singles, EPs, and two full-length albums, their moniker reflects their approach
to music—deliberately rejecting conventional norms and clichés to create a
distinctive sound.
This release features reissues of their two
full-length albums, Deconform (originally released in 1998) and 0002 (2000).
Musically, NORM REJECTION can be characterized as a crossover band with a
strong groove element, integrating a diverse array of genres, sounds, samples,
and influences. Their style exhibits a modern sensibility, prominently
featuring thrash, nu-metal, and industrial elements, while also drawing from
various traditional and extreme metal genres.
Listeners may find parallels with bands like SEPULTURA
during their Roots era, particularly in the fusion of diverse influences and
rhythmic emphasis. Given the band's eclectic approach, individual impressions
will vary; therefore, exploring their tracks firsthand is recommended for a
comprehensive understanding of their sound.
