Atomck are a Grindcore three piece from the UK. They’re a band that defy expectations in some ways, definitely technical but definitely not ‘tech’, Thrashy and riffy without being particularly metallic. Continuing with newest full length ‘Never Work’ they concoct a barbaric, confusing flavor of Grindcore, with elements of Hardcore, Black Metal, Doom and Noise. Massive whirlwind Guitars shred out endless binary riffs, both lightning fast and Doom slow, over off kilter blast beats and mid-tempo dirge, working out complex mathy patterns but still maintaining a savage, caustic, noisy sound. Then there’s Linus’ vocal, an utterly maddening and absurd assortment of roars, shrieks, squawks and howls that defy belief. There’s also steaming analogue Noise parts, contributed by Chicago group Winters In Osaka and created by Atomck themselves, adding yet more mondo weirdness to an already unsettling, spiralling vortex of cosmic Grindcore brilliance. The production is bright and loud, and yet raw and kinda gritty. And the album cover, painted by Guitarist Luke, is just breathtaking. A great record, one that delivers both interesting song compositions and proper Grindcore maelstrom intensity, and doesn’t forsake testicles for technical in the process. Proceed
