These guys make Dillinger look like Korn

"To describe what this album sounds like... well if Venetian Snares and Dillinger Escape Plan had an illegitamate child, this would be it. And if you've heard those sick puppies, you can still only begin to understand what a insane album this is. In a dark mixture of grindcore, avant-garde and math metal, Orthrelm have thrown away any pre-concieved convention of making music and have instead created something quite bizarre. Devoid of any melody or structure, the music is guitar and drums only, the guitars being a mish-mash of atonal shredding and the drums being pure chaos with the occasional blastbeat. I'm not going to say that this is the greatest music on the planet. I'm not going to say that this is an album everyone should hear. All I'm going to say is that if you want pure chaos, this album is what you're looking for. And for what its worth, I'd say it succeeds in whatever it was trying to do."

Awesome

"Drums + guitar duo play incredibly weird, fast, heavy, loud, and technical songs that average a minute long. You know whether or not that sounds like your thing. If it is, you'll love this."
