Whourkr - Concrete (2008)

Artist: Whourkr
Country: France
Genre: Breakcore/Death Metal

Over the history of music, we have those progressive musicians  that decide mixing two genres together will create something amazing. This in many instances is true. Thrash metal was born when heavy metal and punk were tastefully stitched together. It was a hugely important moment in music. That alone is a problem in todays music, and not in the good way thrash metal was. Many boisterous musicians try to jam two or more genres together without actual song writing skills, or originality included. This has spawned musical abortions like Abandon All Ships, BrokenCyde and Attack! Attack! So....it seems like mixing electronic and death metal would lead to a legacy just as awful, and pretentious, but Whourkr knows exactly how to blend the styles evenly without sounding...well...terrible. They successfully mixed the two genres to make an album that can only be described as pure insanity. It has the heavy beats you'd expect in electronic music, and the thundering guitar you would expect from death metal. Not to mention each song is brilliant in its own way. If you are looking for something truly unique, this is your best bet.
