5.0 out of 5 stars Mankind is Obsolete - Metamorph, April 22, 2008

Mankind is Obsolete's debut EP Metamorph is definitely a different approach than their full length release, Rise. And that's not a bad thing at all. This one is more industrial based, a bit more electronic in nature, probably having to do with Hate Dept.'s Seibold being the producer. This EP is aural ecstasy, some of the best industrial I have ever come across. But I do have a complaint: This EP is too damn short! Once you get into it, poof, it's over. Fortuantely I also had Rise, so the audio adventure could continue. I can only imagine how bad things could have been if I didn't. So in closing, this is a must have band with a must own release for any fan of industrial, rock, and everything in-between.

This disc is fast, heavy, dark, and emotional... alternately angry and sorrowful. I would give this 4.5 stars, only because it is so short. (A remix or two would not have been out-of-place.) Having said that, all of the tracks are good, and two in particular ("Another World" & "Icarus") are superb. Icarus is actually probably my favourite recent American-style industrial track, and I would say it's worth buying this disc for that song alone.

Natasha's vocals are excellent; she is by turns smooth/ethereal and harsh/gutteral. The synth comes across heavy & dark on its own, and the percussion is great (keeping the genre in mind; metal this is not).

If you enjoyed Rise and would like to hear a darker, angrier side of MKIO, try Metamorph. I just wish there was more!
