86. Within Destruction - 'Yōkai'

A melting pot of styles and genres that whirl around in a tornado of noise. There is electronica here, there is plenty of death metal, but there is also slabs of my fav, nu-metal (irony alert, irony alert). There are so many seemingly incompatible components, that it should audibly curdle. The interesting fact is that it doesn’t. Somehow, they have managed to pull off this act of random genre slicing. What you get is an energised and surprisingly fresh sounding record that consistently defies expectation. File under really should not like this but I do.
