If you were to visit Germany’s Time Has Come’s My Space it would tell you that they sound like ‘a derailing train loaded with empty milk bottles’. They are not far wrong. This Death Metal/ Grindcore/ Breakcore band are so…well, noisy. Not so much a derailing train loaded with empty milk bottles as a train derailing in hell loaded with fragile glass reliquaries filled with the tortured souls of murder victims.
Opener, ‘Keep You Tongue From Evil’, showcases all you need to know about this band. It goes through all the motions of metal from death to thrash to grind. It grates along with an unrelenting fury occasionally interrupted by the guitars making noises that sound like the slot machines on the end of Brighton Pier. You may get a slight shock when you hear pretty jazz piece, ‘Elevator To Prypiat’, and you may have an even greater shock when it cracks apart and flashes a few moments of what sounds like a criminally insane clown shoving his balloon animals up someone’s sphincter. Just when you’re getting used to that that, ‘The Abandoned City (Part1), rudely pushes its way in line and starts screeching with ungodly potency. Final track ‘The White Fuzz’ has a lulling beginning that is swept away by a wave of static, like waking from a nightmare and hearing the background noise of your television.
‘White Fuzz’ has lacklustre production - a problem when considering the layers of technicality, the roar of the guitars and the absurd drumming. The Tasmanian Devil vocals can grate, too. This album is for fans of angsty, disjointed, brainless metal and folk who spend their monthly cheques on the end of Brighton Pier.
