Extreme, impressive, and complex. These three words sum up the re-release of Glaukom Synod's Uczulony on Hydra Records (which is a sublabel of the new label formed from Redemption Films: Triple Silence Records) While this is a re-release of a demo, the rerelease is considered a full-length which makes this Glakom Synod's very impressive debut album. Uczulony mixes industrial sounds with harsh noise and seemingly schizophrenic moments of extreme metal that come out to be a regular melting pot of experimentalism. Even tracks like Intense Underground Brainstorm (Shredded Metal Version) utilize EBM beat-aspects as well as some 80's sounds. Being in an industrial act myself but being limited to keyboards, this is exactly the kind of complex programming that I wish I had in my band. Every noise, clang, and tink is used to perfection and placed in exactly the right spots. This album obviously was NOT easy to create, but Glaukom Synod pulled it off perfectly and I hope one day my band may have the pleasure of playing a European gig or two with him.

The band's origins actually began 12 years ago in 1995 with the band's only member G. attempting to make a combination of death metal and noise. However, Glaukom Synod was only officially begun in 2004. After the name was formed in 2004, the object of the music became a rather simplistic version of dark ambient and noise-industrial. After the help of a friend who was head first into the world of harsh noise, Glaukom Synod became what you know it as today, a very noisy and experimental industrial with machine-driven beats lubricated with sweat and blood. Glaukom Synod currently has 3 demos under his belt, including a split CD-R with Stigma Diabolicum.

Very impressive debut indeed for this fairly young band. If you love complex music, especially industrial, then I would suggest you check this release out. There's not much to be found as far as actual music instruments, but machine music was never about that was it? Oh, and strangely enough, if you are a rapper and for some weird off the wall reason happen to be reading this, G. is searching for a dark-thought-oriented hip hop artist to do vocals for one of his songs.
