Uniform - Wake In Fright
Uniform - Wake In Fright
Uniform's new record feels like getting chewed up by some huge machine. It's hellishly noisy, with thrashing and raging guitar lines taking form in a fog of static feedback. The vocals are equally unrelenting, either sneering or menacing, but always manic. It's intense stuff, but it's stimulating.
While it's making your heart beat faster, Wake In Fright does it's best to evoke a sense of struggle. It seems like a hopeless or even pointless fight, but Uniform seems set on it. Even as the music beats you into submission, you can identify with the singer's almost primal resistance against it.
This music is about disturbing and disrupting, so don't expect anything traditionally pleasant. But it's cool as hell, and like I said: exciting.
