New York's Gridfailure has returned with a new recording which continues his mixture of experimental, ambient, noise, industrial and dark hardcore and this is a review of his self released 2019 album "Psychological Badlands" Henchpersons Instrumentals".
Field recordings, homemade instruments and electronic music sounds start off the album while also mixing in some elements of harsh noise and instrumental. Bass guitars also have a very dominant sounding presence on the recording as well as the music also getting very experimental and avant garde sounding at times.
The songs also capture the atmosphere of a horror movie soundtrack or horror induced nightmare at times. All of the tracks also sound very different from each other while a couple of tracks also adds in a brief use of spoken word samples and the music also mixes in a great amount of programmed beats.
One track also introduces acoustic guitars onto the recording as well as a few later songs also adding in some electric guitars which also adds more of a metal and hardcore influence and also capturing an improv atmosphere and as the album progresses a brief use of psychedelic sounds and harmonica's can also be heard, clean playing can also be heard briefly and a later song is very long and epic in length while the production also sounds very dark..
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Gridfailure and if you are a fan of experimental, ambient, noise, industrial and dark hardcore, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Fluid Explosive Tectonics" "Stalking through The Ceiling" "Subduction Becoming" and "Cadaver Angels". 8 out of 10.
