GENOCIDE ORGAN

[Into_The_Void]

I don't know if it's me (most likely) or not but I don't find any of this "complexity" or anything so extremely impressive in this new Genocide Organ. I found already "Tipping Point" quite boring, so I bought the new one conscious of this fact in mind but still, a new Genocide Organ long-playing work, too tempting... and I have to say that the new tracks, combined with the "Tipping Point" stuff, sound more interesting, the whole thing has a spooky and haunting atmosphere, and overall it is a decent album for sure, with the classic Genocide Organ's trademark, but - at least to my first plays - it sounds quite "basic" and somehow not really scratching very much below the surface.

It doesn't hit like Obituary of the Americas for me. I've been listening to a lot of their back catalogue in anticipation of Hospital Fest and not immediately grabbed by this new one. It sounds fine but not gripping.

My copy of Death Zone just arrived-based on one listen I think it makes a great companion piece to OoA... slower and quieter in a way verging on the more death industrial but it complements it well sonically and thematically. It will take more listens I think to get the most out of it. Don't think it will replace OoA as my favourite GO album though.

Yes; a strong album, but from the mighty Genocide Organ, it lacks a little something.

GENOCIDE ORGAN "All is suffering" cd
I heard some people say the 7"s of religious fanaticism were underwhelming. I can get what someone means when there is track with traditional synth oscillation and Jonestown samples going on top, hah.. But, despite significant overuse of the Jonestown sample within underground music, it is what it is. Still kind of mindblowing scenario, almost 50 years later. There is more here of course. Anyone who missed the 7"s or who doesn't like format that you need to flip over so frequently, this c. 50 min CD actually reveals how nicely the 7"s fit together and without the flavor of 7" vinyl sound, it is quite different sounding. It is possible that this may be even stronger album that Death Zone, which I liked, but now when you listen 7" material in one bleak session, as opposed to format that kind of requires "hit singles", it really works great on CD. There is not that much of aggressive pieces. Some of that, but more emphasis on bleak and hopeless vibes.
