| | | This is a HIGHLY energetic band, whose compositions are astoundingly complex. But they differ from say, PsyOpus, in that instead of being offered in a heady, learned way, these guys crunch away at the brain relentlessly with a down-and-dirty flavor. Rhythms are constantly shifting throughout, slithering around in the listener's cortex like eels, daring one to hold on for dear life whilst trying to keep up with them. Special kudos go to bassist Dallas Niles, as his Goliath presence acts like an anchor, holding the band's completely bizarre framework in place: often the drums are semi free-form, entering and exiting the patterns precisely and at will, as the guitars offer filigrees and unexpected attacks within the measures and counts. And the screeching vocals are amongst the most successful and un-nerving ever in this school of music. Three songs from this disk are remakes from their debut (which is difficult to find now, but also excellent); However, the versions here sound more immediate, brutal and confounding. Along with old hands Crowpath and relative newcomers Gaza, Destroyer Destroyer are at the vanguard of Metal's new, mind-f#*ck approach, but they are more complex than the former, and even more intense than the latter. Personally, I expect this will be the best Metal release of 2007.
