Experiment In Terror
'Who Will Survive and What Will Be Left Of Them?'
2002, A-List Records
This record is an absolute menace; ten songs that invade, annihilate, erect their monument and are gone in under fifteen minutes. Experiment are quasi-legends in the Ottawa area for their incendiary live shows, but as a friend recently observed, "They're talented, but live it's just noise." And thusly, kudos to A-List for committing the mayhem to tape. 'Global Empowerment = National Impoverishment', the first track, clocking in at a relatively lengthy forty-three seconds, pretty much sets the tone for the album: these guys are pissed at the injustices that happen daily, close to home, and they're gonna have their damn say on things, and with names like Tim Thrash and Chainsaw, you know better than to disagree.
And they're good. Really good. The drumming in particular is incredible; the record mixes thrash and metalcore, and it takes complexity and power to keep these kinds of berserk rhyhtms intact. On 'Societal Preconditions For Slaughter', the band manages to tuck an actual breakdown into the chaos, and it happens elsewhere, though they're few and far between. 'I Am Like You' delivers a well-thought-out discourse on the repression of womens' rights; 'Human Consequences' deals with warfare and state-sponsored terrorism. Quotes from Gandhi and Tolstoy set out the band's credo, and whether or not you agree(and I do), they present their case in a manner that's unavoidable.
