Wanna Cyber?
Without coming off as imitators, Scorngrain manage to bring the same type of effect enhanced sound as bands like Fear Factory and Sybreed, often being reminiscent of a sound cross between the two futuristic metal ensembles.

The sonic pendulum tends to swing toward the thrashier side on this release, giving the bands music an aggressive quality without necessarily taking things over-the-top. Keyboards also lend a symphonic hand to tracks like Blank, but Scorngrain keep things decently heavy and modern sounding in spite of such nuisances. This hi-tech trio resembles an updated Coroner on the scathing title track, adding an updated flair via electronic enhancement that is relevant as well as potently inspired.

Other bands, most notably The Kovenant, have combined electronics with more abrasive metal as well, bit Scorngrain do so in a manner that is more firmly rooted in traditional metal sounds, instead opting to use technology to enhance their metal sound as opposed to adding a few distorted riffs to music of a purely electronic nature.

Flesh Means Pain contains some mighty riffing and a decidedly catchy overall nature amidst the tracks abrasive vocals and growling, sinister sounding breakdown. An up-tempo chug forms the signature of the neck-snapping Dawn Of A Hypocrite God, which transforms into a pummelling break that is almost hardcore sounding in nature.

With its latent viscosity and damaging attack, Cyberwarmachine stands as an intensely potent release that crosses over between several moods in its growlingly urgent call to arms. Join the fight.

SCORNGRAIN ‘CyberWarMachine’
If you were to take a look at a picture of the future, you would find that there is no future. We tried to stop them, but the MetalCorps armies sprang into action in unprecedented numbers and are multiplying as we speak. We go to bed at night hoping that the nightmare will end, only to awaken in the morning and discover that the KarateMosh troops have somehow further fortified. I havent slept well in months. I lay here listening to the sounds of rebel counter strikes and long for resolve; noble men and women like you and me, that disapprove of the current state of metal. It seems for every inch of ground we gain toward defeating the MetalCorps legions, were knocked back a foot or more because we are just too few. Controlled from the shadows by those who are only slightly less mindless than themselves, the MetalCorps strike teams have invaded and seized once reliable allies such as Century Media and Nuclear Blast. Together, these super powers have swiftly brought the end. Were losing the war. All is gone and hope is but a fleeting memory. Though its yet to be seen, wise men prophesize of they that will lead us into victory and restore order in our once great land. Time is running out
Taking a piece of the thrash blueprint drawn out by the likes of Slayer in the late 80s and pasting it to The Kovenants 21st century design, Finlands Scorngrain emerge from the burning rubble with a cyber assault on all things trend. Layered with galloping riffs and computer programming, CyberWarMachine is a blackened industrial thrash injection of life into the dying, core-infested metal world. Though they are not the most diverse set of musicians, their ideas are at least somewhat innovative; a quality that seems to be in short supply these days. On occasion the band will harness a sort of Bodom-ish orchestra hit, but it is far more subtle than what you typically hear from their fellow countrymen. Samples surface in every track and give off a computer-speak ambience. Vocals are generally of the very raspy black metal kind, but there are moments where normal death and clean vocals come into play.

CyberWarMachine is a breath of fresh air for those of us who are choking on the pollution of the dime-a-dozen metalcore acts that always seem to make their way to the forefront of metal. My only complaint is that the album could have been a bit more varied. Many of the songs lack their own identity and sort of just bleed together with the rest of the disc, with the exception of Killing Breed and No Funeral For The Last which both offer a sundry of tempos and styles blended together to create some pretty mind-blowing music. While one band alone cannot erase an entire movement, other acts can follow the example set by Scorngrain and play what they want to play, not what they think they need to play. We dont have to compromise and we certainly dont have to conform.
