With a bio comparing them to Judas Priest, Pantera and Metallica,
Biomechanical is given the arduous task of living up to some
mighty big hype on "The Empires Of The Worlds". Well, here is what I came up with in terms of
these comparisons: The bio points to the Judas Priest twin
guitar assault, but what stands out to me more is a vocal style
that calls to mind Ripper Owens on “Jugulator”. There are points
within the songs where the guitars call to mind Metallica from
the “Master Of Puppets” era as well as some early Slayer riffs.
One thing the CD does not lack is ruthless aggression. This is
one intense ride with vocals that are wickedly evil yet
comprehensible which makes the album’s appeal all the more
apparent. At times the speed heads off into Slayer and The Crown
territory but typically reigns back in enough that the disc is
not a complete thrash fest.
Andy Sneap in England produced “The Empires Of The Worlds” and
the cover art comes from noted artist Nat Jones (Spawn, The
Haunted). Biomechanical definitely offers up a punishing release
that compares favorably to other Earache favorites of ours such
as Deathwitch and Ursurper.
