Elkronik Sciety - CD Review: Industrial Cadaverous Demos

Baron Craze
Elkronik Sciety (which is correctly spelled), is the next Nine Inch Nails, and this band might seriously nail their fans, and dominate them, while frightening any critics that dare to face them. Industrial Cadaverous Demos consists of seven original songs Brain Factory the first true vocal track makes the listener reflect on the United States' culture where fear and threat levels controlled the public living as locked zombies. Their CD provides inside photos give a taste of T&A that many hard edge bands overlook or dismiss as to remain serious, and perhaps that image harkens back to Hollywood Strip of the 1980s. However, the artwork on the front cover is similar to horror comic book cover - i.e. White Zombie, but created by lead vocalist Massaker. Massaker's insight to society creates a wondrous journey for the listeners, one filled with both truth and viciousness of their music and lyrics.

Chainsaw, the third track uses an actual chainsaw, which is volumes above that of Jackyl's style and becomes a musical instrument that creates a delicious song. The new version of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE needed this track mixed into their film, especially with scenes with Jessica Biel. Nevertheless, the chainsaw tool, whether in that movie or in this song, carries the same sexual references.

Third Degree Burn should become the nation's new death penalty for it severe enough for guilty and pleasured filled for the victim's supreme desire of revenge to by the hands of sadists. The tempos varied hence keeping the listener's trapped in a comfortable vice. The awakening and churning, by drummer War style and guitarist and bassist, Hrod and Crypp, respectfully make the song a standout among the pleasant discoveries found on this album.

Addict opens with a wonderful murder being committed hearing agony to delightful ears, and asks the questions of where addiction stops and enjoyment starts. Finally, the Hrod and Massaker, let loose on the CD, and snarl their way planting one back against the wall, then gripping with, Crypp and War, their pathetic chin for intense attention for the song and the conquest of the band and this CD. Some individuals will take the next song, as a song on reflecting on the children molested by priests, however, The Preacher's Influence song is deeper in meaning showing the vanity and the corruption of the words of all religions. The bass and drums unite for great support for the vocals, and will not ever submit to any false masters and preachers.

The ninth song is Insane, and it fine song, that drives past the sign of dead end and hints to society that is heading for mass destruction through hate and natural motives as a well oiled and refine machine found within everyone.

Mass of Torments should be included with the HELLRAISER's films, as it clean vocals utter "part of hell" and the rest of the song uses Bach influence in the keyboards, brings the listener back to Universal Horror Films, i.e. Dracula. Then song travels through using an atmospheric tone, and depths of horror with the infamous chainsaw however never overstepping or overreaching other elements of the song. This creative element has made a song that any horror fan, would enjoying listening to with mad delight that would have them licking their lips in blood lusting passion for a visual creation of this song.

Their CD also contains two bonus tracks, Third Degree Burn and Brain Factory are done as remixes, both expand on the origin of the those songs. Industrial Cadaverous Demos and Elkronik Sciety are in the process of rising up and walking out of that rusting behemoth of a industrial park where the machines no longer work, and the workers souls remain, however, that ghostly sounds of metal churning in the wind cannot be dismissed and yet one is curious to investigate the unearthly monster. Listeners and readers of this review will you come forth and enter into Elkronik Sciety's paradise - they are waiting for you!
