This is a review of a recording from New York's solo project Gridfailure which showed the music going for a mixture of harsh noise, power electronics, drone, experimental and post industrial and the ep was self released in 2023 and called "Shards In the Wire".
Power electronics and harsh noises start off the ep along with some synth orientated drones a few seconds later. Vocals are mostly aggressive sounding screams while the programmed beats also add in elements of post industrial as well as the songs also adding in a great amount of percussion and the recording also has its experimental moments.
At times the music also captures the atmosphere of an apocalyptic horror movie soundtrack when keyboards are introduced onto the recording. Each song also sounds very different from each other along with the electric guitars also adding in touches of extreme metal when they are utilized. and a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length, clean playing can also be heard briefly.
On this recording Grdifailure takes harsh noise, power electronics, drone, experimental and post industrial and mixes them together to create a very apocalyptic sounding recording. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover loss and dejection themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Gridfailure and if you are a fan of harsh noise, power electronics, drone, experimental and post industrial, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Upheaval Of The Foundation" "Panic Azimuth" and "Shards In The Wire". 8 out of 10.
