... Enter the present, Adam has spent nearly a year crafting his latest
full length excursion. Aptly entitled “Irreformable“. His latest
endeavor is sculpted in innovative sound design and mixed in full
dynamic range. Spanning a theme of diverse styles from start to finish
„Irreformable“ refuses to reform or conform to commercialism. The term
“All killer no filler“ applies here. “Interchanges” opens the album
with a crunchy bassline and an array of hi-hats building tension as the
track develops. Many of the albums tracks are peppered with short vocal
samples and spoken phrases which add to the atmosphere and energy as the
album develops. We hear this in third track “Binary Possession” with
its layers of detuned synth noises and whispered Adam X vocals and in
“Sheer Insanity” which is filled with sweeps and noise, combined with an
unnerving vocal. Title track “Irreformable” comes full of noises
reminiscent of a factory boiler room, chugging along to the noise of
broken pipes and alarms, backed by an underlying snare drum and repeated
spoken phrase. The latter half of the record continues to build on the
overall tension and evokes an almost chaotic feel it. Irreformable is a
refined industrial sounding album that broods with dark energy that
twists and turns as Adam X takes us on a journey of sound.
