Background/Info:
Droid Sector Decay featuring members from Greece and
the USA have been active since 2009 and have now unleashed their fifth full
length album. They claim to be inspired by metal- and industrial music.
Content:
There where previous albums of the band were mainly
inspired by industrial music, but also featuring elements of EBM, this work is
a pure crossover between industrial- and metal music. It’s not really
surprising they say to be inspired by bands such as Fear Factory, Slayer,
Type’O Negative, Paradise Lost and co. The songs are carried by solid guitar
riffs and driven by furious rhythms. The deep growls are perfectly matching
with this type of music, which has been achieved with electronic
arrangements.
+ + + :
Droid Sector Decay aren’t exactly repeating
themselves, but merging their industrial basis with metal music. So they in a
way have reinvented their sound and that’s always a challenge I personally
appreciate. This is a dark and unpolished music format reminding me of
great crossover releases from the 90s.
– – – :
It sometimes sound as both main influences aren’t
totally compatible creating a kind of chaos. There’s less diversity in the
songs and unfortunately no real climax.
Conclusion:
While I often thought Droid Sector Decay could do
better they didn’t exactly fulfill my expectations. There’s nothing wrong with
this new sonic path, but it still has to be refined.
Best songs: “The Abhorrent Serenade Of Metempsychosis”.
