Genghis Tron - Dead Mountain Mouth [2006]

Genre: Cybergrind, Grindcore, Electronica, Mathcore, IDM, Death Metal

MySpace: genghistron

My opinion & thought: Electronica meet Grindcore. These 3 guys really destroy the ultimate underground scenes by re-invented this Cybergrind music.

Stands out track(s): Chapels, Dead Mountain Mouth

Genghis Tron is a three-piece cybergrind band based out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The trio formed in early 2004 in Poughkeepsie, NY, where they met as students (they were very good students) at Vassar College. Their earliest material — which would be released as the “Cloak of Love” E.P. on Crucial Blast Records — was a hyper pastiche of grindcore, idm, death metal, hip-hop, and even new wave.

Dead Mountain Mouth is the first full-length album by Genghis Tron. It was released on June 6th, 2006 on Crucial Blast in CD format, and on June 27th, 2006 on Lovepump United in vinyl format (white and clear coloured). A vinyl reissue is planned for late 2008, again on Lovepump United.

The album was recorded and mixed January 10th to 19th, 2006 at Godcity Studios in Salem, MA by Kurt Ballou. It was mastered and sequenced at West West Side Music in New Windsor, NY by Alan Douches and Kim Dumas respectively.

The album is more varied than the previous ep, and features the band exploring such genres as Doom metal, IDM, Power noise, Experimental rock, and of course, Grindcore.

Genghis Tron - Board Up The House [2008]

Genre: Cybergrind, Grindcore, Electronica, Mathcore, IDM, Death Metal

MySpace: genghistron

My opinion & thought: This is what will happened when Electronica meets Grindcore. The latest yet the best from Genghis Tron, the futuristic metal band. Lots of details from the minimalism musical arrangements & riffs.

Stands out track(s): Board Up The House, Colony Collapse
