After taking a glance
into the minds of Innersense, I have a kill-all attitude that
has been brought about by nothing other than full speed,
petal-to-the-floor metal. During the short greeting with 2 of
their singles I found several oddities within their music;
oddities that raise Innersense above most of bands in the
metal category in regards to uniqueness. For example,
throughout the course of their music you will hear chirps,
strings, and other sounds that do not normally accompany the
sometimes overwhelming guitar rifts. From the heavy power
chords to in your face lyrics, Innersense manages to grasp the
genre quite nicely, however, on a personal note I didn't find
their music too appealing. I had the opportunity to listen to
2 singles that were offered on their Mp3.com website. The two
songs that I chose were: Distorted Madness and Masochist.
Distorted Madness is a brief track that barely has time to
fully develop; in fact I don’t feel as though it ever finds
the needed development. The track offers some extremely up
front screaming lyrics ridden over somewhat distorted guitar
rifts. In addition, the track incorporates one of those
instruments not normally thought of when the topic of METAL
music is brought up at the dinner table. But, Innersense uses
that unique sound to its advantage. The band takes that sound
and arranges it into a melodic rhythm that tries to drag that
rest of the track alongside it. Unfortunately, it seems as
though much more is needed in order to get this song to appeal
to the masses. Overall, this "partial" track is well rehearsed
and executed nicely, but is in desperate need of more. I
suppose that this track would work out well as an intro track
to a CD, but in order to make this a great song (which is
highly possible) then Innersense needs to evolve the current
clip and tangle up a few more section, thus adding length,
variety, and excitement.
Masochist is slightly longer in length, but is much further
along in terms of track maturity. The track starts off with a
simple guitar rift that sets the stage for what is coming.
Soon after that initial rift the screaming begins, the lights
dim, and Masochist is well on its way. The first aspect that I
noticed was the importance level of the drums, or lack
thereof. The drums seem pushed to the background, while the
offensive lyrics (What I could understand) was thriving out
front, casting their shadow. The vocal distortion is a nice
touch, but it didn’t impress me that much because I couldn’t
understand the lyrics very well. Nearly 2:30 into the track
you find the band on high power, providing their listeners
with an obtrusive wall of sound, but it doesn’t last long
enough for appreciation. Also, the lyrics seem to be random
words, instead of thought out sentences. In conclusion, this
particular song shows mega potential, however, I don’t feel as
though the production was focused on making a track with
re-playability. Masochist is a nice attempt at full blown
metal, but until subtle differences invade it, Masochist will
never get the attention that it deserves.
