EDITORIAL: Bands that Only Have One Speed-- Fast




Brain Drill

The epitome of weedily-weedily tech-death. But holyshit if it isn't fun as hell. Honestly their albums are so short because they have no filler. Their most recent, Quantum Catastrophe garnered poor reviews from butt-hurt elitists who were truthfully just disappointed because Rathjen and co. are so many lightyears ahead in talent that every one else who plays guitar, and they should just quit. The song "Bludgeoned to Death" has a 2 second silence before the song starts-- I think that's the closest thing to a respite that one will find on this album.

BENEATH THE MASSACRE

A bit less weedily, more tremolo and chug-y. Also the vox from Monsieur Desgagnes are pure rapid-fire barking. Quite intense, but quite enjoyable-- their latest, Dystopia even has some real groove to it. Standard lyrics about the evils of man, etc. are paired well with robotic (think evil robots, รก la The Matrix) drumming and riffs that were most likely designed by a supercomputer fueled by blood. NOTE: The slow, one-note breakdown that takes up 40% of the song Never More does not count, for it is just stupid.
