Drumcorps – Creatures


So have you ever tried to blend mathcore and breakcore? I have, but that’s a story for another day, for today I’m talking about Netherlands-based Drumcorps. Their new album, Creature, is indeed a creature of its own. The moment you hit play, you get the dissonant off-putting riffs, you get the glitch effects and synthetic drums, and you get the howling screams. That’s basically all I want from different music genres put into a cereal box. And it’s amazing. Be sure to check it out!

Let’s dive into the electronic world of synth music!

Number Five: Oh Yung – Godless



Oh Yung released Godless in May, and ๐”€๐“ฑ๐“ช๐“ฝ ๐“ช ๐“ซ๐“ช๐“ท๐“ฐ๐“ฎ๐“ป it still is! Every song is worthy of praise, but perhaps none so much as “What U Wanna Do” for its complete bonkersness! The only flaw is its shortness!

Number Four: Big Lad – Power Tools


I’ll always remember the time I saw some dude cover a Venetian Snares song on an actual drum kit. I was so impressed by that! Well, Big Lad have turned that energy into the physical world, and play breakcore … Read more

Hardcore Anal Hydrogen – Hypercut

The Music

The Words

The Monรฉgasque duo known as Hardcore Anal Hydrogen just released their fourth album, under the Hypercut title. I wasn’t enthralled by any of their previous output, but I might have to reconsider, given that this one tickles my fancy! The HAH duo delivers more than forty minutes of experimental death metal that lies somewhere between the breakcore of Igorrr (which I still can’t stand) and the cybergrind of Psudoku (which I adore!) Hypercut is filled with inhuman shredding (both figuratively and literally), glitch aesthetics, genre-hopping sections, and distorted, high-pitched harsh vocals. You know, I don’t really … Read more

Venetian Snares – She Began to Cry Tears of Blood Which Became Little Brick Houses When They Hit the Ground

by Dรฆv Tremblay

The Music

The Thoughts

Venetian Snares is a well-known Canadian electronic music experimenter; he’s been at it since at least 1997 with Fake:Impossible. Today, with his twenty-fourth full-length studio album (from what I can gather), Aaron Funk delivers a surprising blow to the unprepared listener. Indeed, She Began to Cry Tears of Blood Which Became Little Brick Houses When They Hit the Ground is an album most hectic that seems to be unable to keep a steady focus for more than a minute.

First of all, the twelve song titles read like surrealist snippets, each creating its very own … Read more

Qebrus โ€“ also sometimes written as Qebrยตs, capitalized or not โ€“ is one of these musical oddities that keep on giving. Earlier this year, we’ve covered the project’s latest release, แ”แŒแ‚แแš, and, after many single releases, we find ourselves once again in front of a full-length release: โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™โ—™. The album, from here on referred to as A A(source) for obvious reasons, is in line with most of the cryptic glitch artist’s output, but feels more minimalistic, contemplative, even. It might be difficult to grasp the complexity and effort that goes into making these tracks, just because … Read more
