The Golden Age of Grotesque is cloaked as an electro-metal reminiscence of the roaring ’20s, America’s first counter-cultural movement of the Twentieth Century.
Formed with members from Prick, Kidney Thieves, and Seigmen, Zeromancer is a hybridized college-fraternity fun ride of alt-rock, metal, Goth, and electronica.
Ohgr and his Skinny Puppy cohorts have been consistent in exploring new technologies & options, but he’s pared down the songs into better-digestible forms.
Crosseyed Rabbit has a rougher texture, adding some choppy guitar and analog synths to the mix, distorting the drums here & there, generally making a mess.
THIS is textured groove vs. “ambient” rock stuff. Like some early 20th century Swedish classical or the titles on the ECM jazz/classical/improv/space label.
