Watchmaker is an American five-piece that
apparently found inspiration in the sounds from Kreator, Voivod and Vio-lence.
There are probably a lot of people who wish that those good old days were not
gone but Watchmaker do not sound anywhere near any of these bands. Instead
they sound like a mix of hardcore rage, grindcore intensity and the aggressive
riffing of black and death metal. In short this is a very violent album that
should appeal to fans of many different genres as long as you like it violent,
fast and chaotic. Unfortunately this orgy in chaos and destruction turns out
to be rather flat and boring and both the vocals and the mix leaves a lot more
to wish for. Terrorizer apparently gave this album a 9 out of 10 rating but I
have by now learned not to trust magazines to lead me right. If I go out and
buy an album I want it to be something original and also full of great music.
This is actually a little original but it does not sound that good. Abusing
your instruments does not make that much of an impression on me and luckily
the metal scene has a lot more to offer than what Watchmaker share with us on
this disc.
