Reviews of "Corrode"


NANOCHRIST's third CD, "Corrode" is a feast for those who crave music that isn't the same sound over and over again. Throughout most of the CD you'll depict broken-up crunchy guitar sounds with electronic drumming and synthesizers. Some songs have an industrial sound to them while others are filled with rhythm and time changes. The vocals range from basic industrial style vocals to screaming pissed-off vocals. This is a good CD for those who are interested.

I think one of the reasons I listen to metal is that when I hear stuff on the radio, I burn out on it. I watch genres change slightly and then become flooded with bandwagon bands making millions of dollars for one CD and then falling beneath the public radar, never to be heard from again (most of the time this is a good thing). Nu-metal seems to be the trend lately and it sickens me to head that fans of this stuff call themselves metalheads simply because they have some of Metallica's new stuff as well as all the "aggressive" stuff from the last episode of MTV's TRL. Anyway, needless to say, I hate this nu-metal genre and I know I can't be the only one bored with it. So what the hell does this rant have to do with Nanochrist?
Well, actually Nanochrist newest release, Corrode, might just be a perfect outlet for fans of this genre that are looking for a new twist on it. While there are whiffs of nu-metal emanating from the pores of this disc, the tough skin has been electronically twisted into a new and exciting form. Nanochrist combines heavy electronic cacophony with the styles that are more popular today. They even at times remind me of older Nine Inch Nails. The guitar work is heavy indeed and the vocals are a mix of spoken word, screaming, and softer singing. An early favorite track of mine is "Anus With A Fist" mainly because of the spoken parts at the end.
To compare Nanochrist with any other bands I have heard or to put them into any specific genre would be ludicrous. Fans of electronic music will love this, as the programming is excellent.
