Ambient progressive techno screamo metal. A new breed one could argue.
The opening track “Cyberpunk,” has one of the best introductions
to a metal album I've ever heard. Synthy chords and strings, really building
up a sense of atmosphere. Something you'd expect to hear from Babylon
Zoo or Lemon Jelly. You know it's heading somewhere, you just don't know
to where exactly. And then it hits you, some good old heavy fucking rawk.
It works really well. The vocals are a bit screechy, similar to the Murderdolls
or something, but yeah it's not bad at all. And when it breaks down into
some kind of techno-metal section, we've got a winner.
“Voice In The Machine,” still has the heavyness of metal
guitars and drums, but it's all a lot slower and with the effects placed
on the instruments and breathy distant vocals, it all sounds very ambient.
Although, even with the amazing sounds, this song really doesn't seem
to get anywhere.
“The Fairy And The Reaper” is a song for the geeks. Anyone
who played Goldeneye on the nintendo 64. Level 6 or 7, Silo. Imagine that
music performed by the Murderdolls. If you can imagine such a thing, that
is. It's just bloody good, the end.
“Chrome” and “Disconnect,” are two more amazing
tracks, each with their own little techno breakdowns blended with metal
madness. Sheer awesome.
New Project have developed this incredible sound, and a lot of it is
down to the EP production itself I'm sure. A really dense thick sound
that to listen to, is really impressive.
I could easily see them getting onto music channels such as Kerrang,
but not really the kind of thing you could find on the Radio. Unless of
course you were scanning for some weird Internet radio station broadcast
from a cave in Finland.
All in all, bloody good stuff. Murderdolls, Drowning Pool and Dope (the
band not the drug,) all rolled into one, playing at a zombie disco. Fantastic.
4.5/5
