Kill.Fucking.Everyone.

I've honestly never heard anything this furious before in my life. Watchmaker combine noisy old school grind with the almost-melodicism of rawer black metal riffing to make one hell of an angry yet listenable beast.

One of the greatest things about this album, asides from its unparalleled conviction, is that despite the grinding approach, fuzzy production and short songs, Watchmaker nevertheless maintain a high standard of songwriting through which they showcase and develop effective riffs and varying tempos throughout the album and individual songs, some songs such as Irrational Hatesoaked Fury and Demonically Entrenched building speed from mid-paced to scorching over time, resulting in a very energetic and cathartic mode of expression. Generally every song has a standout, sadistic riff, memorable structure or tempo changeup, or unfortgettable vocal arrangement, resulting in that rare grind album that, after relatively few listens, you can actually pick favourite, standout tracks from.

I'd reccommend listening to Irrational Hatesoaked Fury, as it pretty much has everything memorable about Watchmaker, and is likely the best track. Soul-peircing screaming, gradually accelerating tempos, and some interesting and abrasive palm-muted riffing.

Overall a fairly unique album and one worth hearing out a couple times at least. Only thing stopping it getting a nilistically raging 100% is the slightly muddy production hiding the nuances of the good riffing and the as-mentioned one-dimensional emotional nature of it.
