Cybergrind darlings Genghis Tron somehow make intense grindcore with programmed drumming mix well with electronic stylings, and not just little flashes or brushes of it either; they take some broad strokes with the digitized side of their musical spectrum, choosing to have fully fleshed out beats rather than some slight flourishes. It's a similar story with the grind side of things, where the bands rageful emotions mask how meticulously mapped out these sections are and how perfectly they segue into the electronic segments. That's what makes Dead Mountain Mouth a special album; spastic, cathartic grind seamlessly intertwined with half-delicate-half-driving electronic beatwork, all in a package only slightly more than a half an hour with no shortage in immediate thrills or easy-to-miss subtleties. There's little music out there quite like the ten tracks here, so if you're looking for an original and enjoyable take on cybergrind, look no further than this record.
