Artist: INTERLOCK
Album: Crisis//Reinvention
Year: 2005

Interlock is known to me as one of the craziest and most powerful industrial metal bands from the U.K. A band that manages to mix death metal with industrial and some now metal influences here and there is not a new thing, but the way this band manages to do it is different. Will the album be as smashing as I expect?

With the first song, Skinless, Interlock manages to wake up every single little cell in my body and every cell in a circle of ten miles around me. Bands like Fear Factory and DyNAbyte (specially the last one because of the female vocals) come immidiately in mind, and this already has to be enough for the insiders to know what kind of band we have here. The rest of the album is kind of build with the same concept, but every song has its own identity and experimental parts. Songs like “Eradiction” and “This Waking Moment” show a more quiet side of the band, while songs like “In Statis” and “Straight” (my personal favourite) are very near to death metal itself. In the end, I think it is fair to say that this is an easy listening record with some brutal surprises here and there. A good alternative for fans of Fear Factory, DyNAbyte, Malmonde and Dagoba.

Vote: 80 / 100
