Car Bomb

THE REVIEW

Being musically visceral and technically pushed to the extreme. These are Car Bomb, who debut on Relapse (and given the sound offered, it couldn't be otherwise if you're aiming to get the best of the best) with a schizophrenic and millimetric work in its presentation. Almost as if it was composed as the result of a binary calculation session applied to math-core, death/thrash, and progressive free grind theories for post-hospital psychiatric structure intellectuals and subsequently mixed in a completely aseptic and airtight hyperbaric chamber.

This is to give you an idea of what the four from New York propose, and if it then seems like you've ended up in the midst of an incestuous union between Korn and Today Is The Day, don’t be scared, because Car Bomb are eclectic by nature and consequently, no matter how many definitions can be coined or hypothesized, you'll never be able to cover all the possible options and perhaps, it wouldn’t even make much sense.

Sure, Meshuggah, Mr. Bungle, Burnt By The Sun, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Converge must have exerted a certain and sure charm on our minds, but amid distortions, furious and multiple time changes, and complex structures elaborated with impressive precision, Car Bomb know that one must never forget the humanity transposed into the sound and that it must still find a home within the tracks.

A kind of scientific crossover that is definitely effective.
