The Burning Of Eterna City - And Onward They March With Broken Legs (2011)



/Grindcore, Experimental metal, Cybergrind, Neoprogressive, Crrossover, Chiptune, Electronic pop, Kitsch pop, Anti-metal/

Comment: Wow, this 13-pieced album seems to be essentially provoking and possibly mocking...for all those orthodox metalheads and other serious lads-gals who used to perceive some music styles through restricted vistas. Massive/majestic metal and grindcore (and at times goregrind elements as well) structures are quaked with pathetic neoprogressive/and symphonic metal and hair rock/metal-ish synth gears and electro-metal (this is gentler version of metal father`s killing). The strong one construes a metal mayhem unprecedentedly melting Katyusha-inflected kitsch pop, cheesy, farting eurobeat “disco”, easy listening synthesized interludes, robot pop and 8-bit/chiptune (the band itself describes it as “nintendocore”) into the amusing pulp. Personally, it is a highly enjoyable set probably crisscrossing the energy barrier of a listener.
