New York solo projects Rack and Gridfailure team up and bring in a mixture of harsh noise and experimental and this is a review of their self released 2021 collaboration album "The Sun Exploded" which will be released in February.
Atmospheric sounding drones and field recordings start off the album while also mixing in some experimental style soundscapes. All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the music also mixing in a great amount of power electronics and harsh noises and the music also h as its avant garde moments.
When elements of ambient are utilized they also give the music more of an atmospheric feeling while demonic and tortured voices can also be heard in some parts of the recording. Synths are also utilized quite a bit throughout the album along with the music also capturing a very apocalyptic atmosphere.
When programmed beats are utilized they also add in some touches of industrial along with some electric and bass guitars also being added into some parts of the recording as well as the music also bringing in more of an improv vibe, influences of extreme metal and black metal screams can also be heard in some parts of the recording and all of the tracks also sound very different from each other while the production sounds very dark and lo-fi.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collaboration between Rack and Gridfailure and if you are a fan of experimental, extreme metal and harsh noise, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "I" and "III". 8 out of 10.
