Artist: SCORNGRAIN
Album: Cyberwarmachine
Year: 2004
Once upon a time, there was a Thursday. I had a bad day
and I though it couldn’t get worse. Well, it didn’t get
worse because there was a package from Finland waiting
for me on the stairs and that package contained
something which made my day. Because, after a long time
of crawling in front of my mailbox it had finally arived:
the Cyberwar-machine promo. From the moment you press
play you are sucked into the post-apocalyptic world that
is called Scorngrain.
The first song is called 24-7. After a short intro with
fading in guitars all Hell breaks loose. After a minute
or so you hear that the term Cyber Trash Metal is not
just for show. The guitars have a trashy sound and the
samples are perfectly blend in with the music,
furthermore I can hear some synth present and that also
blends in the music very well. In this song the synth
sounds very apocalyptic and that fits perfectly with the
lyrics thus giving you a good taste of the war filled
atmosphere. TwentynineA vocals simply sound insane.
Overall this is just great! The only thing that is
strange about the song are the Hip-Hop kind of vocals,
but don’t worry: it actually sounds really good and also
fits in the music. The Next song is called Blank and
starts with like violin sounding synth. This song has
good rhythm and some kind of groove that will not let
you sit still during this song. The rest of the synth,
guitars and samples let this song sound very catchy. The
title song of the album: “Cyberwarmachine” follows. I
suggest you download the video from the official site,
because it is a great song. This song reflects the whole
album pretty well in my opinion. Flesh means Pain is the
next track. The songs starts with some calm samples and
drum and is followed with a nice solo. This whole song
is a bit slower then the previous tracks but picks the
tempo up a little bit later in the song. The guitars
sound very trashy in this song and the samples are very
active in this song. The song also contains a sort of
climax at the end where the music in general has a bit
of a Gothenburg sound (well that is just what comes to
mind when I hear it). Now ladies and gentleman it is
time to pick up the pace again in “Killing Breed”. The
song starts with fast guitars and keys and has a trashy
sound. This is also a very catchy sounding song:
cybertrash-metal on its best if you ask me! 4-D Religion
kicks of with a bit false sounding organ (could religion
have anything to do with it?). Then the guitars kick in
with the same rhythm as the organ, only faster. This
song has some crazy loops and samples and the song
sounds really powerfull. New Paradise (Bukake Remix) is
not that different from the original song of the demo,
only the production is better and the samples are
altered a bit if you ask me. Dawn of Hypocrite God is
again a more trashy (but yet melodic) sounding song with
a bit of disturbing sounds and keys. No Funeral for the
last is my favourite track and somehow sounds kind of
soothing (maybe that’s just me). The keys are very
active at this track and sound so damn awesome. Because
of the keys this song feels like a Melodic Death Metal
song (what I totally don’t dislike). This song is just
the perfect ending track for the album! This album is
awesome and demands respect. The Production is flawless
and all the instruments and samples fit perfectly with
eachother. I don’t know how they managed to pull it of
but they did it, they master the genre that is called
Cyber Trash Metal completely. I can’t wait for their
next move and I’m sure whatever they do it will be
great. Thank you Scorngrain for this great music…Keep on
doing what you do!!
