I'm scared of Genghis Tron. The music that this Poughkeepsie trio churns out beats my ass every time. They've recently followed up their debut 2005 Cloak Of Love EP with a new full-length entitled Dead Mountain Mouth. It is full of (again) extreme juxtapositions. I mean, anyone that would even think about combining the disparate elements that Genghis Tron does has some serious explaining to do.
Genghis Tron sandwiches industrial metalcore riffage up against dreamy electronics in a much more cohesive way that than they did on their debut EP. A grindcore masterpiece (if you will) that actually offers much more than repetitious and mind-numbing blast beats. When the band turns off the loud, they let the synth hooks creep in and the glitchy drum programming take over. This band is is like the love child of Converge and Aphex Twin. Despite the drastic time signature changes and light switch start stops, Dead Mountain Mouth is fluid from start to finish and is definitely something that heavy music fans should check out. Its out now on Crucial Blast Records and is fast becoming a favorite of mine.
