Watchmaker - Kill.Fucking.Everyone.

Grind & raw black metal? This = Watchmaker - 83%

Spawnhorde, April 10th, 2004

OK, what we have here is quite simply some of the loudest, angriest, craziest, most cathartic "music" that will ever grace your ears. Most of it is pretty noisy, and this kind of music is certainly only listenable only if you're in that angry as hell mood. The album title describes it all...Kill. Fucking. Everyone. And if this was turned up loud enough, you'd be able to do just that. The drums are pounding, lots of blasts and not-so-technical stuff, but technicality isn't what you should be looking for in neither grind nor black metal, so it's good for what it is. The guitars are almost indistinguishable from the rest of the blend, or "noise, if you will. All of the songs take a bit of old-school grind, and combine it with some raw black metal style riffs, drums, vocals, and production. Most songs are pretty damn short, but if they were any longer, I'm pretty sure I would actually try to kill.fucking.everyone. About the vocals. Imagine a man set on fire. Now imagine that man being set on fire again. Now imagine him being set on fire again. And again. And again. Put bluntly, the vocals sound like a man who is basically undying though on fire. Pretty...creepy? Yes. Evil and maniacal? Yes. Does it work in the context? Hell yes, the vocals are almost the best part of the album. They just add to the feeling that Watchmaker were aiming at inducing in you...that feeling of pure fucking anger. This is some pure, undiluted savagery. Definitely check it out, but you should really ask your doctor if it's alright or you may be experiencing heart attacks, and other such symptoms.
