Review
Wild Rocket makes a
welcome return with their second album - Disassociation Mechanics. An
album that sees Wild Rocket create heavier and more experimental
sounds than their debut album. This time Wild Rocket venture more
into noisier and doomier based territory with the band keen to
explore a more industrial sound.
Opening track - Caught
In Triangle Again - is a mixture of psychedelic nightmarish distorted
sounds and spaced out doom metal riffs. The vocals have layers of
distortion behind them though you can easily understand them. The
song is not your average Psychedelic Doom based song as Wild Rocket
take influence from bands such as Slomatics and Genghis Tron at
times. It's very spaced out and full-on electronica affair but with a
highly intriguing atmospheric doom approach. The noisy glitches and
sound effects never stops the flow of the fantastic instrumental work
that Wild Rocket play on the album.
Second track - Infinite
Reconnaissance Imager- is a more standard psychedelic noise/space
rock offering with the main highlight of the song being the cool
lyrics and great vocals. A more riff heavy approach make this song
one of the more interesting songs on the album. It becomes heavier
when the chorus kicks in and it will sure have you nodding your head
in agreement.
Third track - Into The
Black Hole - has quite a claustrophobic feel with the electronica
sounds creating a doomier atmosphere. The vocals from Moose name
later take centre stage as the rest of the band carry on playing
heavy spaced out noises.
Fourth Track - The
Future Echoes - is the going to be the main talking point on this
album. As Wild Rocket create a heavy spaced out disjointed and
disturbing rock opus. Distorted vocals fade in and out with the
industrial/doom/space sounds taking a more experimental feel. The
keyboards and synths give this album a more digital hardcore or even
Nine Inch Nails feel. This song will leave you questioning not only
your own reality but also your own sanity as well.
Fifth track - The Edges
Of Reality - closes the album the way it's been played from the start
with heavy monolithic noises and riffs all combining for an exciting
finish. I can hear elements of Hawkwind on this song and perhaps
their most famous song – Silver Machine.
Disassociation
Mechanics is a very hard album to describe and perhaps even difficult
to listen to at times. The fact remains that Wild Rocket have created
an exciting and wholly original wild ride. The album won't be for
everyone but if you want a challenging album that will not only test
your patience but richly reward it as well, then you will find this
very hard to beat.
