review by Lisa "Blondie" Hieta-Larsson____
French
metal/techno at it’s best
This
feels good right from the beginning! High quality rock all the way
through with a twist of heavy techno. I know what you’re thinking now;
oh, they’re just another Rammstein-copy!
But
no; these French guys have their own little thing going on here. And
yes, some tunes (for example the intro of “Stand”) do remind
me of Rammstein but I won’t go as far as comparing the two bands any
further because they still differ a lot.
This
album makes me feel good about life! Try to stay stiff as a poker while
playing it and I promise, you won’t succeed as you’ll see that
it’s an impossible thing not to move. To me, this fact often goes hand
in hand with great music.
Here
you go, the best songs in my opinion:
Virus-
I can’t help it, the
intro with it’s sharp aggressiveness makes me smile! The keyboard beat
is cool but yet a bit funny and playfull to my ears. The heavy drums,
hard guitars and distorted vocals make me dance!
Stand-
definately my favourite on this album! 3:50 minutes of fast hammering
drums, cool techno sounds and a nice rhythm in a great combination. It
starts off with a dreamy tune which builds up towards a fast crescendo
that lasts until the last note.
Black
Days- very dark and melancholic both in melody and lyrics.
Somewhat of a contrast to the previous song “Stand”. Along with the
intro, the atmosphere suddenly changes to black and gloomy. This is done
in a good way together with a nice groove.
All
in all Wormachine is very
straight ahead and punching. An album you won’t get tired of after a
few listenings since you always can discover something new about the
music like a certain sound that you haven’t heard before an
interesting tune and so on..
Anyone who’s into the combination of metal/techno should definately check out this album!
Rating: 8/10
