I don’t know much about Wolf Eyes but I do know one thing, they bloody dark. I bought this album a few weeks ago expecting ignorantly something more rocky and distorted and I realised that subconsciously I was linking this band to Wolf & Cub…Oh how I was mistaken.
Consisting of a mixture of foaming distortion, screams and shattered drum beats Wolf Eyes creates essentially a snuff film soundtrack. It is too beat driven to be ambient but too fucked to resemble any traditional song structure.
Essentially this is the bands fifth real album but each year brings on tens of releases. I’m not sure if all of the releases are similar to this album. The major fault for me with this album is that I’m not sure what this band is trying to achieve. I know its trying to be loud, and noisy, and abrasive but that’s it. The band might defend itself with titles such as Noise Not Music, but personally there must be something more for me. I can’t translate what else they mean, what is the need for all this feedback and massacred guitars? I get very little from the central tracks.
Though I have said that, ironically I do really enjoy the first and the last track on the album and more so the final track is Noise Not Music. The final track revolves around an oscillation of echoing drum beats. The initial track, A Million Years, is also enjoyable because it is one of the few tracks with direction.
I’m sure others will have opinions of their own. Give it a listen and tell me what you think. Intelligent discussion is welcome.
