ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

First formed in Poughkeepsie, New York before moving to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Genghis Tron was a noise, electronic, IDM, grind, doom, ambient trio that got together in 2004. Their myriad of styles, which were made on-stage and on-record without the aid of bass or drummer, was hard to miss in the post-rock and post-metal world, and leading label Relapse eventually signed them up.

VINYL FORMAT. The re-issue of their debut full-length. Originally released in 2006, this is a ferocious and unnervingly innovative record - a relentless cacophony of the huge metal riffs and ambient electronics that have earned Genghis Tron worldwide acclaim. "These guys pack more in a minute than almost anyone else out there. Pyrotechnic blastbeats vanish before you know it, making way for electronic breaks and blessed synth passages as compelling as they are familiar" - Philadelphia Weekly.

Blazing out of Poughkeepsie, New York comes the mecho-grind trio Genghis Tron, perfectly named for their schizophrenic attitude towards metal: one-half devastating world dictators, the other half Disney-esque computer-pop nerds. Their five-song debut EP, Cloak Of Love, finds the band waging war with conflicting influences that, in the end, commingle comfortably. Opener "Rock Candy" churns together bits of prog, hip-hop, techno, dance, and abrasive machine thrash ? clumsily at first, but then the tune   [ read more ]
