Mnemic – Sons Of The System

MNEMIC – SONS OF THE SYSTEM

15th January 2010

Nuclear Blast

I love this album! It kicks of with the title track, Sons Of The System, which takes us on a journey through the sound of melodic industrial metal – without being a mess what so ever, even the fade out doesn’t put me off. Diesel Uterus then chugs in almost in complete opposition to the previous catchy soft guitars. But then the track does a number of 90 degree turns between more catchy, then back to heavy, and back again, and back again – its great! The Erasing has a great recurring electronic tri-chord – very demonic sounding and the album has a kind of evil tone throughout, mixed with catchy rhythms and strong vocals. Thirteen solid tracks to rock out to, Sons Of The System also makes a good album for driving to!
