Austin Electro-Industrial band Dread Risks second full length album “automated disappointment” is a dark and spiraling journey inspired by the trauma of existence and the inevitable hostility of shattered expectations.
“Bound Limbs” starts the album, a musically dark and chaotic track accented by snarling, distorted vocals. Gnarled whispered vocals and a frenetic pace take the listener into the diabolical soundscape of “Comadose”. “Machine Identity” has a frantic dance beat with terrifying lulls and sinister vocals. An industrial and swirling journey “Trace Amounts” tugs and pulls at the listener while inundating them with insidious and looming vocals and lyrics. “Trauma Ties” is led by growling vocals and is a shadowy and lurid expedition. With a choppy dance beat “Nothing in the Static” is an undulating and disorientating soundscape accompanied by askew, raw vocals. “You Sleep In The Shroud That Buried Me” provides a convulsive music experience featuring malevolent vocals. Dissonant haunting harmonies and a confronting industrial sound environment come together in “Obliteration Complex.” With almost solicitious vocals “Extinction Form” has a hefty brutal back beat. The final song on the album “Obliteration Complex – Ritchual” is a musical onslaught that’s poetic and primal with an unnerving drop in the music in unexpected places adding to the songs almost intoxicating effect on the listener.
Overall this grim and gritty musical journey is an insightful and deliciously enticing listen.
