CD Review
Dissecting Table Power Out Of
Control
By DJ Mortimer Steel
One could easily picture
walking around some sort of steel factory while the work is in full swing. The
grinders are doing their thing and the sound of metal being slammed into shape
by a dozen hammers echoes like thunder in a lightning storm. Dissecting Table
live up to their name in regards to dissecting sound and creating lavish
soundscapes. The opening track, Uncontrollable, starts out with lots of
intense variations in sound. They actually squeeze a drum beat in with what can
only be described as pure chaos at its best. The best elements of the noize
scene are represented here complete with all the metallic abrasion one might
expect from such an outing. The song does display melody at times to completely
transform into a full on screech assault. Uncontrollable does manage to
combine many elements other then sonic abrasion. There is a great use of drums,
piano and guitar here, not your standard noise fare.
Bottom comes in at track two and at first you may
think this one might actually have a danceable tone to it. A few seconds into
it and you realize this is a full on tweakfest. Traditional noize at it's best
veering from screeching hell to industrialized manic mayhem. The use of common
noize sounds are here like all noize oriented material, but the way its woven
into stomping Industrial overtones is done with precision and one doesn't take
away from the other in terms of sound.
Naturalism comes in with Skinny Puppyesque vox and a
hard industrial overtone. Veering from stomping industrial to disturbing eerie
soundscapes and drone elements. You may actually find me spinning this one on
the Batcave from time to time. Reminds me of the early nineties industrial
scene. Go Beyond the Limit; if Hell had a soundtrack playing as you
entered its gates this may be close to what you would hear on your way in. Kick
ass distorted basslines and deathmetal. Its songs like this that may
bring one not so fond of the noize scene a little closer to the genre because
of its industrial friendly overtones.
I am new to the band but from what I've heard from tracks
like Naturalism and Go Beyond The Limit I'll be digging some more
of these guys up for my radioshow and adding them to regular rotation here. An
aggressive outing but you wouldn't go to a punk club if you couldn't get into
the pit now would you?
