Beecher – “This Elegy, His Autopsy”
With Beecher the line between psycho time-change hardcore and superpugilistic banana split hemorrhage is beyond blurry. Beecher plays psychorazzlejazz hardcore. They get bored playing normal, linear songs; therefore, every song has multiple time changes, speed changes, and becomes a moving musical puzzle. Fans of Dillinger Escape Plan probably have a good idea of what this all means. With song titles like “It’s Good Weather for Black Leather” and “Psycho Galvanic Skin Response,” well, as you can probably imagine, the taking is as twisted as the giving and these goat boys don’t listen to their mama. Totally terrible toddler temper tantrum screaming vocals is what is singing here. Screaming his way to Armageddon, infinity and beyond, the sounds that only dogs can hear, the screamer will rock you or will annoy you until your elbows feel funny. In fact, they cannot and will not make a regular song to which you can sing along; they will change things up on you every few seconds and will not allow you to get comfortable. Granted, this band is not the most original thing in the world (that honor goes to Irian Jaya Japanese Appalachian grinding banjo blue grass nut jobs Knuckle Head Crackers), but it’s pretty crazy (or annoying, yo!).
