We Say...
Signed off a demo, Today is the brainchild of one Steve Austin, whose relentless misanthropy makes most of AmRep's resident cranks look like Gandhi. Their debut
Supernova is also a stunner, full of aggro-prog salvos all the more terrifying for their jaggedness. Willpower is more of a song (hah!) record, the slit throat rather than the cluster bomb. Guitars shriek and wail while drums break your ribs, but the key is Austin's skin-flaying voice, the closest sound to Satan himself that you're likely to hear this week. Also, the album opens with finest ever use of a GoodFellas sample, which should win them some sort of Oscar/Grammy combo. Eight songs, 29 minutes, no mercy. -
They Say...
Having subtracted bass from Today Is the Day and added keyboards, noise rock auteur Steve Austin thereby altered his outfit stylistically, moving from the warmth and emotional appeal of Willpower to an icily digital landscape of painful, high-frequency tones, screeched vocals, and even more painful guitar. Today Is the Day is a brutal record, owing a bit of its industrial nature to acts like Skinny Puppy and Merzbow. However, this is hardly textbook industrial music. Still utilizing guitar and organic drums, Today Is the Day is not driven by the keyboards so much as augmented sonically by them. The keys produce more of an atmospheric than a melodic effect, thereby leaving the essential constitution of Today Is the Day intact and guitar-driven.
