Review Summary: Prepare for a melting face.

Huoratron's signature style can only be described with references to daily life items, such as an electric drill, a washing machine, a car motor, a broken transistor and an insane man screaming in pain. If you thought Dubstep is ''heavy'', then I recommend you keep away from this man and his newly published EP, because he might soil your pants.

The new Acid Reign EP offers the tracks 'Acid Reign', 'DDoS' and 'Pioneers Of Nothing'. Full lenght of the EP is 16:40 and I can guarantee that every minute is a ride on its own. That makes 16,75 kind of ways in total to get your head stuck in a meat grinder, to take a bath with hair dryers, to skydive without a parachute or to receive stress treatment from Mike Tyson.

The title track of this EP, Acid Reign, feels like a Vietnamese war-themed sex club which is on fire but no-one cares. The dance floor is covered with dirty needles but no-one cares. There should be music to dance with but the sounds of an engine-generator covers it all, replacing the desired music to dance with with grinding cogs and burning gasoline. At the end of the track, fire-alarm goes off but everyone's already dead.
EP takes a continue with DDoS, which is named after distributed denial of service. This track feels like some kind of a club aswell, locating several miles underground. The oxygen has ran out years ago, but the dead corpses are still dancing. There is no partylights and the DJ is missing. What's left is a DJ's computer that has been playing the same song years and years. Eventually the party track has corrupted with forces unknown, resulting as the nature of this track.
Final track, 'Pioneers Of Nothing', is much slower and more waltz-like in nature than the other two tracks on this EP. It could be described as lustful men mining datacoins from the servers in an attempt to pay debts to the drug-mafia they owe so much to. Pioneers to nothing indeed. The EP ends with saw noise descending in pitch, like a buzzsaw being turned off.

The EP refuses to stop to give the listener any break from the pounding basslines and cryptic noises influenced with uninterrupted chaos. It has no knowledge of the word 'subtle' and harmony is a joke told ages ago by the noise gods. Years later all those noise gods have perished, Huoratron being the exception. In the year 2014 the nordic god of noise roars again.

I take great issue with a lot of this review, but chiefly this:

Our noble Finnish president of noisemusic has returned to show how electronic music CAN be something different.


Also:

I would say that this EP is more vivid in nature than Huoratron's LP, 'Cryptocrazy'
