This is a monstrous, thundering barrage of industrialized sound that comes uncannily close to capturing the explosive musical essence of an action-packed, violence-strewn video game. The apocalyptic guitar strafings threateningly loom large within a murderously rampaging mix of nuclear-charged synthesizer expulsions, tribal barrel-pounding drum beats, and a bass that furiously rumbles along like a division of panzer tanks. The vocals are loopy, psychotic, and confrontational without being hostile and full of testosterone-fuelled rage. If ya want comparisons, I’m vaguely reminded of Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Rollins Band, I Against I-era Bad Brains, and even a bit of Faith No More in spots.
