But i m always gonna pick up the new dälek record cause oktopus always brings the noise like no other.
Dalek gutter tactics review.
The production on most of these songs is fantastic from the stand up bass intro of a collection of miserable thoughts laced with wit to the percussive attack of los macheteros which recalls both shotgun blasts and heavy machinery an appropriate juxtaposition for an album primarily concerned with violence and which.
If you don t already know their style mc and producer duo dalek are all about dark electronica.
Gutter tactics flows in the same way still musically interesting but packed with thick dirges that slur together through a shared sense of industrial atmosphere.
This aside gutter tactics is an intense powerful and highly intelligent rap disc that seems to look to past efforts for inspiration while expanding upon dalek s sonic arsenal.
Beats are slowed until they splinter.
It has been two years since abandoned language the last release by dälek and not much has changed.
Instrumentally gutter tactics shares much in common with the droning shoegaze of my bloody valentine and the distorted orchestration of mono due to live overdubs provided by various musicians ushered from dälek s deadverse record label into his newly built studio.
Gutter tactics dalek dã lek make post apocalypse music crumbling building blocks standing like crooked broken teeth noxious sludge oozing from drain pipes scorched asphalt and concrete melted into piles of slag.
Short phrases are spat out like beats and long samples heckle you about the abuses of power and our complicity.
This album will more likely appeal to fans of early industrial drone sludge doom metal and dark ambient music than it will appeal to fans of the current hip hop establishment.
Aptly titled the album has a dark disorienting and toxic vibe.
Dalek is like a fine beer it is an acquired taste but once you get past that part it is delicious.

Cryptic raps are submerged in drones and sheets of static.
And gutter tactics finds oktopus beefing up his sound into a well oiled battering ram.
Gutter tactics flow and overall rhymes pale in comparison to those found in abandoned language it is as if gutter tactics thick doom sound that defined dälek s approach has now turned back and smothered any attempt at a unique change.
It fits which i guess makes dälek the unique entity it is but it s also my roundabout way of saying i wouldn t miss the mc if he disappeared like forever.
