Buried Inside – “Chronoclast”
The full title of this humdinger is “Chronoclast: Selected Essays on Time-Reckoning and Auto-Cannibalism” (What? Are they edumacated and stuff?) and this is on Relapse Records. Does Relapse have a monopoly on this type of bands or what? Sure seems like it. From the sounds of it, fans of tripped-out, psychedelic hardcore (Shut up, you try explaining this!) need to check this out. This music has a really strange way of combining angry, screamed-out vocals with melancholic post-hardcore guitar work. How do they manage to make this sound good? You would think this is a recipe for a disaster. This is pretty melodic, but in a manic depressive way (Don’t ask what that means?!). Let’s just say that if you like the posthardcore/dissonant stuff on Relapse, you should dig this. I think explaining the meaning of life might be easier than explaining this band.
