Korn + Soy - "Twilight of the Idols" Review (0%)
Here come the police - where can we hide this collection of stolen ideas from the worst of nu-metal that embarrasses even Korn and Slipknot fans? Oh look, we can stuff them into this shitty 'war metal' album and no one will notice. Mainly because no one is listening because this sucks. But in case people get suspicious, we'll add super edgy Latin titles and crazy lyrics about worshiping 'Satan'. And praising 'Satan'. And various other activities, not all of which heterosexual, involving 'Satan'.
Twilight of the Idols is all over the place and to hide the fact they have no idea to develop a song, the musicians here rely on repetition and nu-metal/deathcore breakdowns to remind you which song you're listening to. It's the one with that borrowed, dumbed-down Angelcorpse riff. Oh wait. That didn't help. It's the one that's a microwave TV dinner version of Bathory... that won't help either.
Throw this turd out.
Deathcore is not black metal. Get this through your heads you dumbfucks. Black metal is metal, deathcore is punk pretending to be metal for idiots with eyebrow piercings.
Like the clown Infernus, always eager to dress up as a 'trve satanist Luciferian' for the media, but short on musical talent and grey matter.
Twilight of the Idols is certainly a piece of shit. It tries so hard to come across as extreme black metal, but when I listen to it, all I hear are fifth rate Korn and Slipknot riffs with extremely poor song structures.
Besides, these guys are about a decade too late to cash in on this mallcore crap so why did they even bother making it?
Korn + Soy
I bet these guys think they play 'br00tal' black metal, but they've clearly never heard Phantom or Darkthrone.
Wait, they actually did, because some of Transilvanian Hunger's riffs mysteriously appear on this album... I'm confused.
This actually sounds like Korn but with even fewer chords per song and excessively irrelevant polyrhythmic beats, like a hip-hop track rearranged by a chimp. Maybe the guitarist has one of those prosthetic hands that's just a metal hook, which is why he can only play one riff per track, but why he only plays the bottom two strings below the third fret is anyone's guess.
The best thing about Twilight of the Idols is that most of the tracks run under three-and-a-half minutes. So only one aspirin needed. Meanwhile, I refuse to believe that anyone enjoys this kind of shit unironically. Post-modern hipsters and other tards who listen ironically are Untermenschen.
At the end of the day, Twilight of the Idols is just not black metal enough. It's not even metal enough. This stuff is random, derivative and boring, unless you want to be sucked into the 'atmosphere', witch of course is artificial and reverb-driven. Seriously you can find 50 albums like this every year, and most of them suck way less than this.
Avoid this vapid soy turd.
Twilight of the Idols score: 0/100.
