Did a semi just crash into my house?, November 7, 2007
This review is from: World in Their Screams (Audio CD)
This album is a logic-defying exercise in pigeonholing a genre that cannot be easily understood. What makes one want to listen to the sounds of industry, like that of unending traffic sounds, the pulse of bleak city life, of steel girders being wrought and twisted and then thrown into a pit where the painful wails of souls cry out in vain seeking freedom from the nightmare? Not me? Hell, no. So why do I listen to this mesmerising conglomeration of sounds, when I could just as easily flick it off and listen to some tame new agey thing like Delerium.
Gentle it aint. This music is greasy, it's dark, hellish, brash and it hits you in the guts and twists you into an iron girder overburdened with too much weight.
Trust me, this music will make you sweat. It will make you run, but there is nowhere to hide because it doesnt let up.
Your only comfort is to believe in the soft french male dialogue which (though I dont speak french) seems to offer comfort and hope despite the clamour of damnation that is tumbling around you.
This album is much more than just noise ; its a symphony, an opera...a masterpiece!
