Zoog's choice to branch out into a cleaner, synthwave inspired direction seems to have made a
world of difference. The aggression and industrial edge are still here, but Bang Operative is a
much more varied experience than I would have ever expected from this project, and a great deal of
fun. |

Overproduced vox aside, this is some of the best industrial metal to hit shelves in years..
Edit: overproduced, and pretty much an amalgamation of every 90s industrial-metal singer there
was. If this guy doesn't own at least one pair of Rob Zombie underoos, I'll eat my own foot. |

As perfectly passable (and on many occasions, hypnotic) as Sylvaine's vocals can be, the rest of
the mix never really manages to come close to being able to mirror their effectiveness, and I
found myself bored with this about three or four tracks in. There's still enjoyment to be had if
you're a fan of primarily vocal 'metal' albums but don't expect to have your mind blown... or to
stay awake for longer than 20 minutes. |

| Metatron Omega: The Dank Cathedral Soundtrack.. Very low-pitch, earthly vibes with choir vocalizing to give it dark spiritualistic flair. The inclusion of spoken word on select tracks is interesting if a bit distracting at times.. Still, very promising work and well worth a spin or two for connoisseurs of the dark ambient variety. |
| Darkspace Dark Space III | 5.0 |
| Dark as the unseen universe, as merciless and daunting as the howling void, yet breathtaking as a hypernova explosion.. They say, in space no one can hear you scream. Perhaps because of the endless vacuum, or perhaps it's simply because you are not Zhaaral of Dark-fucking-space.. |

Hard to find the words to describe this music... If I had to try though, i'd say it sounds as
though Arcturus and Unexpect decided to have a baby with Kauan as the surrogate mother. The result
is an oddly effective mish-mash of experimental/symphonic doom metal that will leave your mind a-
boggle. |

Powered by instantly memorable guitar hooks and breakdowns with surprisingly catchy vocal delivery
from a
man who appears to be steam-punk Freddy Mercury. 3Teeth's self-titled debut is one of the most fun
industrial-
metal records I've heard in the past decade. |

| Slightly more appealing than a polished turd. Although after hearing 'Shake It Off' 30 rsome-odd times on the radio it's kind of hard to not bop along to it, juvenile theme raside.rFor lols: http://youtu.be/z5gnqQ3Lis8 |

| Slipknot's first album in 10 years that's actually fun to listen to.. It seems they've regained some of the personality and energy that AHIG had desperately lacked. Even so, crappy production and some flat guitar work prevent it from being the comeback it was hyped-up to be. 3.1/5 |

It sounds like they recorded this album in a grain bin. A cold, dark grain bin.... with
dead bodies and DMT in it. |
