Review:
It's something we've all experienced a few times; whereby fate or coincidence you unexpectedly find yourself listening to the perfect music to match the moment. In most cases, the motivational music helps you to complete a difficult task, however I was sleep-deprived, intoxicated and lacking in sanity when I first heard 'Deformed Elephant Surgery'; which I'm going to recommend as the perfect state of mind to be in before approaching this album. It's certainly a twisted, tangled beast, one which takes a generous helping of genres, before blending them together in a chaotic fashion; an arch nemesis to the structure and order on which modern pop thrives. Although based in Nintendocore, the influences are far reaching; covering all things synth pop and dubstep, however also featuring some frighteningly heavy goregrind / industrial metal moments, one which draws comparisons with glitch metal pioneers 'Whourkr'. Personal favorites include 'Pegamower 33', which blends upbeat chip-tune and guttural grows; and 'Hyperbolic Prismatorhombated Hecatonicosachoron Portal'; which with detuned instruments and tortured shrieks and groans, could only possibly be described as a nightmare in audio form. I've said this before, but this time I mean it. Proceed. With. CAUTION.
