The modern metal/post-hardcore movement consists of a large list of bands uses a variety of quick dub-step-y electronic flourishes for what usually is a gimmicky trick into some cheap breakdown. Polymorphic Code take that formula, adds more electornica styles, stretches them out into full experimental/movements, and almost removes all the gimmicky/cheap tricks for fully fleshed out electro-metal genre-smashing. It's almost surprising that The Algorithm sound on Polymorphic Code works, and it sounds borderline innovative. The band functions best when they break the electro-metal smash dubstep mode (which is basically after "Bouncing Dot"). That isn't to say those moments are bad but when they mix it up with more styles (ambient, IDM, reggae, techno, glitch etc.) the results become much more engaging and interesting. The Algorithm Polymorphic Code is a close to excellent debut project, that's even brooding more in the avenue of potential, and symbolizes what hopefully will be a bright and innovative future career ahead of them.
