Psyclon Nine - Crwn Thy Frnicatr

Well. Oh my. This CD seriously threatened a spot on my top five albums of all time. Leaving conventional noise industrial in the dust, Psyclon Nine blows their own excellent previous albums out of the water with their third release. INRI sounds like nursery rhymes in comparison.

Crwn Thy Frnicatr still falls into the realms of aggrotech, but with decidedly death metal influences, meaning lots more guitar and faster and deadly drum beats. I was afraid when I first heard Ner0 mention in an interview that Psyclon Nine was taking this approach, but the band has successfully incorporated the best of this darker side of music without loosing that enticing beat that makes everyone want to move.

The new release is also intensly more gothic, giving a very erie mood that pervades throughout the album, both intensifying the overall mood and cohesivily intertwining the songs into one satisfying experience. The songs range from in-your-face death metal threats to synthesized based oontz tracks, but they all have this very specific gothic and grounded twist that allows for a whole range of interpretation.

Suggested songs:
"Crwn The Frnicatr"
"Flesh Harvest"
"Visceral Holocaust"
"Parasitic"
