Powerfully packing a punch to the cerebellum and frontal lobes, the first two tracks lull you into a false sense of security with what seems to be huge chunks missing from the end. Bows actually has a sense of dark melody. Expanded Suicide is a disturbing soundscape, with a mixture of vocals and a plaintive string section, which breaks into a hard industrial piece of music. Still very chaotic and haunting towards the end. Kill Your Parents, is disturbing to start with just by the title. As a track it is suitably unsettling, that it happens (being a parent) even more so. Thankfully in some ways, cut short again. Generation N equally manic and hardcore to its hateful maximal limits. There is something of Noise Unit about this album, and Quantum Failure does nothing to dispel that thought. Fantastic industrial track.
Hyaluron, full of lovely synthetic squiggles and a doom laden atmosphere. And, the essence of Forever Never makes you want it to last for good. Now, I have made the Noise Unit reference, we are talking more Synaesthesia perhaps? Aversion brings back that harsh energy, but with an angelic host. Which carries on into Lanium, a species of orchid, that grows in cool forests, very fragrant, as the track actually seems to imply. I started this review last night, but it seemed more harsh then. Childbed Depression is beautifully done for a very serious subject. Cut short with the cries of ravens. Void War II is an aprocryphal track. Futuristic and suitably poised. Valse Mortuary, a comparatively soft track, with a Parisian lilt. That melds beautifully into the wonderful Zeronin, which sounds like the tradename of some anti-psychotic pharmaceutical. Apart from the short cuts, overall a brilliant album of some range in presentation. I liked it a lot. Thanks for sharing.
