5 out of 5 stars Murderous Riffs.......2007-01-25

Pantera meets Queenschyre's vocalist. The riffs are inspired of slayer, pantera, metallica, and judas priest. The background keyboards feel SYL and greatly enhance the album. Seems like no one's heard this band.....still made it to #17 2005 metal-rules. Thank god - or I would have never heard it.


Easily one of the best metal albums of the decade so far...here's my list:

1. Cage - Darker than Black
2. Nevermore - Dead Heart
3. Biomechanical - Empires
4. Blind Guardian - Night at the Opera
5. Nightwish - Once
6. Judas Priest - Angel of Retribution
7. Iron Maiden - Brave new world
8. SYL - Alien
9. Mercenary - 11 dreams
10. Scar Symmetry - Pitch Black

5 out of 5 stars Ultra technical, downtuned black thrash... power metal?.......2006-04-16

Holy [...]. This band is so completely mindblowing. Ultra technical, downtuned black thrash... power metal? An impossible mix of techgrindthrash a la Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan, Strapping Young Lad and the like, but with plenty of chugcrunchmosh as per Pantera, but most importantly, a huge heaping dose of classic melodic power metal: blazing leads and harmony solos like they were plucked straight from some Iron Maiden b-side, wailing and soaring eighties style Rob Halford like vocals, all plopped smack dab in the middle of a dense sludgy, churning whirpool of brutal pummeling technical thrash metal.

Imagine your favorite eighties metal record, Avenger, Obsession, Omen, doesn't matter, now imagine that band going through one of those science fiction transformations, you know like where the dinky little robot is dragged down the conveyor belt, strapped down and then is suddenly awash in a blur of sparking machines, and molten metal, a hundred mechanical arms with all manner of alien tools welding and cutting, sparks spraying everywhere, flames and smoke, until the tiny robot emerges a hulking armored battle machine, all sharp edges and planet crushing firepower. That's basically Biomechanical. Imagine Iron Maiden or especially Queensryche (the singer sounds a hell of a lot like Geoff Tate) with a 21st century makeover. A blurred buzzy blast of totally brutal thrash metal, technical and convoluted but super catchy. With those wailing vocals that at first sound so completely out of place, but immediately make Biomechanical so much more interesting than their grunting shrieking thrash metal brethren. Plus they smear the proceedings with all sorts of bizarre keyboards which gives the whole record a demented alien vibe.

5 out of 5 stars will make your ears bleed.......2006-04-01

If you are looking for modern, mind blowing death metal, this is it. After the soft, less then a minute intro you get pummelled with an in your face, relentless, wall of sound. This band actually manages to sound fresh and new while incorporating a lot of old. This is amazing folks. The incorporation of styles is nonstop as you get drawn in to power thrash guitars with huge solos, melodic black metal keyboards, killer rhythm section and one of the most powerful voices I've heard in a long time. John K sang on the last Balance of Power album, Heathen Machine, but only hinted at what he could do vocally. Here you get his whole range. It reminds me of when I first heard Sebastian Bach and his range and power, though they sound nothing alike. K is more like Geoff Tate meets Halford meets Lance King. If you are tired of the current metalcore sound, or just looking for a breath of fresh air in extreme music this is a must listen.

5 out of 5 stars Metal surprise of the year!.......2005-10-19

Biomechanical's The Empires of the Worlds is the metal surprise of the year for me. Its relentless power yields intense moments of crushingly heavy extreme music with touches of thrash, traditional, industrial, and even progressive metal. Built around complex harmonies and song structures, the music is meticulously produced resulting in a hybrid of dense staccato string bends, semi-melodious and semi-growled vocals that easily tear the stratosphere, and a hyper-speed chaos of rhythm intensity. All elements are combined in order to make a lasting musical statement that fearlessly transcends boundaries making the album impossible to categorize.

The dark cover art done by Nat Jones suggests Swedish thrash/death ala The Haunted or Hypocrisy, though Biomechanical shares little in common with either band, except their undeniable thrash metal riffery that characterizes their sound. Biomechanical does play a perfect mix of post-thrash and industrial with vivid traditional heavy metal overtones that often suggest Judas Priest or early Mercyful Fate, particularly in their guitar work. Add to this John K's inhuman vocals that can range from a deep Devin Townsend-like growl to majestic high screams from the likes of Rob Halford or Wade Black. The title track illustrates said amalgamation with its focused clean vocals contrasted by aggressive low growls and some Swedish scream harmonies. However, all extreme elements are put aside when the band's guitar tandem throws a swirling guitar solo that brings to mind the best moments of Downing and Tipton as well as Hank Shermann and Michael Denner (Mercyful Fate). Aside from the heavily Priest-inspired lead solos, Biomechanical's guitar duo Chris Webb and Jamie Hunt also lay down some amazing rapid-fire riffs coloured with post-thrash motifs and a Gene Hoglan-type of drummer that plays his instrument with ruthless aggression and stunning speed. Injected with a massive orchestration sound, the first track "Enemy Within" immediately recalls Strapping Young Lad, moreso than any other band. Industrial sound effects, swift keyboard layerings and a demonic twin guitar tandem that impresses with their sweep and pinch harmonic work are melted into the track to both define the sound of the band and expose their diversity.

Moreover, The Empires of the Worlds has a great film continuity to it, as main composer John K is very much into film score. From the creepy sound effects and heavily orchestrated "Regenerated" to the Cronenberg movie-inspired "Existenz" to the epic-sounding "Survival", the disc is filled with audio moments that give the album a visual feel. Given that this is also the second chapter of a huge concept piece, the band has incorporated these elements with great attention to detail. This is far from the typical "write a song and slap an orchestra on it" attitude. The orchestral arrangements actually are the song itself and they play a very vital role in the music. What's better, however, is that not even a single minute of heaviness has been compromised; the orchestra is there to add texture and enrich the arrangements. What we have in the foreground is sped-up twin guitars that, as on "Assaulter", can go from a Testament feel with melodic vocal lines and instrumental breakdowns to sludgy build-ups littered with a symphonic vortex of sound and Meshuggah complexity on "Relinquished Destiny". The four-part "Absolution" epic finds the band going back to film score with a blaring horn and string section on "Final Offence", horror movie voiceovers on "From the Abyss", and back-to-form aggression on the later two pieces that emphasize the band's ear for orchestration centred around mercilessly fierce guitar, bass and drum foundation.

Andy Sneap's production makes things only better and this disc will takes its place in his ever-growing list of works. The sound is far larger than the average metal release out there and embodies controlled chaos and a very precise vision of songwriting. This disc should be right up there with Strapping Young Lad's Alien and Nevermore's This Godless Endeavor, two of the year's best metal releases.

5 out of 5 stars The most genius albums since Strapping Young Lad's City.......2005-09-25

It is not often my jaw drops when I hear a new album. Disillusion's "Back to Times of Splendor" stunned me for a bit, same with Kamelot's "The Black Halo". But after the 50ish second intro of "The Empires of The Worlds" I was fumbling for my player's volume control just so I could hear every part of the huge wall of sound that hits you head on. From there on out you get an album that sounds something like if Rob Halford (Judas Priest, for all you ignorant folks) was injected with speed and told to make an album that takes the best parts of metal for the last 15 years and cram them into one album.

So that is what you get. From the At The Gates (except a lot faster) style of melodic death metal on Truth Denied to the instrument jackhammering on Assaulter to the ballady Long Time Dead to the eccentric The Empires of the Worlds you get it all. While the album is primarily awesome thrash metal, it has tones of other styles crammed into it as well. I could go on for ages just describing each song since they all have their own unique sound - but I'll just let you experience that yourself since nothing I could write could do the songs justice.

This album just blew me away from start to finish. It's only failings are that in a few points some people may find it simply over the top mind blowing, and in a few points their movie-style orchestrations seem kind of strange.

Similar to: Judas Priest, Pantera, Strapping Young Lad, Fear Factory, Mike Patton's work, Devin Townsend, Nevermore. But it more a fusion of all these bands than any one of them at a time.

5 out of 5 stars The first CD of next up and coming band !.......2003-10-06

Whatever the Hell on Earth that the band is confronting Euthanasia, domestic violence, drug abuse, etc. Hell on Earth takes that problems of society and makes you deal with it with their aggressive and talented guitar work, pounding drums, and state-of-the-art sampling and quality sound.

Hell on Earth was was an instant favorite as soon as I heard the CD.

I can't wait for the third album !!!

1 out of 5 stars Oooooo, aren't we spooooooookky and creeeeeeeeeeeepy? LOL.......2003-10-06

As a previous reviewer said, if the option of zero stars was available, I would say they merit a grade " less than zero ".
Fifth rate Nine Inch nails/Marilyn Manson wannabes ( Manson and NIN, i like; they're talented! ) who have to resort to childish stage pranks and jerk the tasteless meter on the lyrics to get attention they obvioulsy aren't going to get with talent. Speaking of the lyrics, these is an example of extremly poorly written, badly phrased writting at its worst. It's as if the ass clown vocalist simply thought " Okay, i'll just name off as many offensive things as possible and say all the dirty words my mommy wouldn't let me say when I was a kid." The song titles just scream " Look at me! Aren't i just so eveil and scary?" Piffle. And the music? Well, if you're one of the many teeny-boppers wanting to piss off Mom and Dad with Slopknot-esque unoriginality, this is the group for you. In a perfect world, a giant rat would but the members of this band into a huge blender and....well, you know the rest.

I love all the music I have heard from Hell on Earth , I hope I can see them live.

5 out of 5 stars Old School CD.......2003-10-05

I have had this CD for several years now and it is still in the front of my cd case in my car. I am from Tampa Bay but moved out to Las Vegas last year. I saw a couple of Hell on Earth shows when I was still living in Tampa and Hell on Earth and Billy the lead singer is one freaky looking and WILD, best live show around! They even did a benefit for a victim of domestic violence one show I was at. Billy gave her the money from benefit on-stage near the end of the show , Haven't heard about that in all the press about them this week. I listen to this CD all the time , Hell on Earth is a great band.

5 out of 5 stars What a ride!!.......2003-10-05

I just got this cd delivered in the mail. Hell on Earth starts off fast as hell and finishes even faster than hell!

I like it alot very agressive! This is a perfect Cd for the gym or just when you need to get out some agrression! Jamming band !!!

          5 out of 5 stars Soundtrack To A Hostile Alien Invasion.......2007-02-02

          Biomechanical, besides having one of the best metal band names ever, is one of the best new metal releases I have heard in years. Adequately describing the immense wall of sound and fury this band creates is hard to do....

          Full of bizarre, unnerving sound effects and background noise, oddly utilized keyboards and symphonic elements (!), vicious death metal vocals juxtaposed with absolutely piercing shriek-like clean vocals that make Geddy Lee sound like a jazz-lounge singer, and a relentless twin-guitar attack that definately lives up to the images conjured by the band's name, this is one brutal, creative, and progressive-tinged metal release that has to be heard to be believed. I especially love the unbelievably hard and fast nonstop guitar riffing and hyper, chaotic solos. Very, very cool and intense. I am looking forward to this band's next release!

          No long explanation. I heard one of their songs on one of the "Unquiet Grave" Compilations. This band stood out on that CD. I picked up Biomechanical Disinigration and the rest of their tracks were great. Nothing phenomenally new, but if you're looking for a great Industrial CD with many manic electronic pulsating throughout...get this CD.
