New York's Gridfailure have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of experimental, dark ambient, noise, drone, industrial and dark hardcore with elements of avant jazz, Americana, classical, techno, folk and black metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Sixth mass-Extinction Skulduggery III{' which was released by Nefarious Industries.
Field recordings start off the album along with some spoken word samples and dark ambient style synths a few seconds later. A lot of the music also captures a post apocalyptic atmosphere while clean plating is also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording and black metal screams are also added on a couple of tracks.
Each song also sounds very different from each other while the acoustic guitars also add in touches of folk music and Americana when they are utilized. Industrial style shouts are also used quite a bit throughout the album along with the electric guitars also enhancing the extreme metal and dark hardcore style of the recording when they are used.
Programmed beats which add in touches of industrial and techno and jazz style instrumentation are also introduced on a few tracks along with clear vocals also being used at times. A couple of the songs are also very long and epic in length as well as some death metal growls also being utilized briefly. Drones and electronic noises are also added into certain sections of the album which also gives the music more of an experimental approach and when pianos are introduced they add in classical music influences 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, drone, ambient, noise, industrial and dark hardcore, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Extermination Level Eventuality" "Drunk on The Blood Of my Neighbor" "Maria" and "Transmissions Cease". 8 out of 10.
