Editorial Reviews

Dead Mountain Mouth is the hotly anticipated full length follow-up to Genghis Tron's bold 2005 debut EP, Cloak Of Love. Recorded at Godcity Studios with Kurt Ballou (Converge), Dead Mountain Mouth moves beyond the rapid-fire electro/grind genre splicing of Cloak Of Love and forms something new, something more cohesive and fluid, an arcane union of digital dreams and brutal heaviness, where speedcore outbursts blossom from clouds of maximum beat-driven bliss and futuristic metalcore riffage seethes from your speakers. These ten gloriously dense, triumphantly catchy jams soar through vast valleys of immense crush and wonderfully alien vistas of 8-bit wizardry unlike anything you've heard before.

i'm not even sure what to say about this album that hasn't been said. this is one of the most ecclectic, intense, aggressive, soothing, catchy, melodic, retardedly heavy, and dancable albums i've ever heard. actually i'm pretty sure it's the only album i've ever heard to which all of those adjectives even apply. it's also excellent, easily album-of-the-year material. if you've ever thought that maybe, just maybe, playing pig destroyer's and boards of canada's entire discographies simultaneously might not be a bad idea, buy this immediately. actually, f-ck that, if you in any way enjoy intelligent grind, metal, or mellowed-out ambient brain jams, preferably all three, buy this immediately.

I can't remember the last time I heard an album this intense. Genghis Tron combines the unrelenting fury of a band like Agoraphobic Nosebleed with the madness of Converge's masterpiece "Jane Doe," while showing minor ambient electronic influences. This album definitely isn't for everyone; even as someone who listens to the previously mentioned bands it took me a few listens to wrap my head around it. But anyone who is a fan of either experimental or extreme music should definitely check this out.

There's no band quite like Genghis Tron. seriously how many grindcore bands have samples and breakbeats? Brilliant. With a band as creative as Genghis Tron the sky is the limit.

Dead mountain mouth has some of the fastest heaviest stuff you'll hear. but it also has some really beautiful ambient parts that not only add to the eclectic sound of the album but really adds that extra push when they smash your skull after a quiet pretty interlude.

Seriously this album will rock your face off if you buy it. Genghis Tron deserves more credit than they get. One of the most innovative and talented bands I've heard in a long time. Buy this along with their EP Cloak Of Love, your mind will be blown.
