Aborym – With No Human Intervention (2003)

March 15, 2020

Lightening fast black metal a la Thorns meets the more blockier, Matrix-influenced techno of the late 90s. Where Thorns has that cold air to it all, Aborym has the energy and vibrancy of the soundtrack to something you’d hear in an exclusive sex club full of vampires wearing PVC, or something. That is, at least, when the electronics are playing.

When the group focus on things more black metal-ly, one must admit that the scale of the songwriting borders on epic. This is best summed up in the title track. The black metal blurred with the industrial sides is best summed up in the hideously titled “Does Not Compute”. All in all, a strong record but a bit dodgy in places.
