Hard, relentless, creative, monstrous, and still friendly: The
Teknoist's first full length album is a storm of shattered
pounding beats, anthemic riffs, and aggressive breaks. And
still, it is also a humane and deep work that knows when to take
the time to seduce its listener. Between the most insane moshpit
and inventive melodies, here comes hurricane of yet uncharted
magnitude.
We warned you that he would be back. Half a year after having
invited The Teknoist to share a record with Eustachian on the
successful "Pillaged & Plundered" 12", Ad Noiseam presents the
mad man's first full length album, coming after several years
worth of records for such labels as Deathchant, Planet Mu,
Death$sucker, Peace Off or Cock Rock Disco.. And mind you, he
hasn't used this time to slow down one bit.
A hurricane is a good metaphor for this album, in which Mike
Hayward (a.k.a. The Teknoist) unleashes an hour long of his
relentless broken rhythms, his pounding beats and his insidious
melodies. A storm indeed, of destroyed drums and friendly
melodies, of anthemic riffs and humane hooks, "... Like A
Hurricane Made Of Zombies" is at the same time one of the most
violent albums released on Ad Noiseam so far, and, deeper down,
a more accessible, harmonious and soulful creation.
Make no mistake, this album is absolutely guaranteed plenty of
moshing and raving. However, any careful listener will
appreciate how The Teknoist isn't only about an all-out madness
of beats and breaks, but also about much "friendlier" passages
and harmonies (something in which he can be linked to label-mate
Enduser).
At the confluent of breakcore, hardcore and something a lot more
melodic, "...Like A Hurricane Made Of Zombies" might very well
be "the" hard hitting, dancefloor-packing album of the moment.
Watch out, The Teknoist is out and looking for brains.
