Aborym
With No Human Intervention
Code666 2003
by Nathan Pearce
Aborym classifies their brand of black metal as alien-black-hard/industrial. The bands label, Code666, simply calls it necro post-black metal. Take your pick, or coin your own term. Aborym has solidified their sound and reputation with the release of the OUTSTANDING With No Human Intervention. With the success of the genre defining Fire Walk With Us, Aborym was being looked to as the answer to the somewhat stagnant black metal scene. With special guest appearances from Nattefrost (Carpathian Forest), Irrumator (Anaal Nathrakh), Matt Jerman (Void/OCD), Sasrof (Diabolocum), and Bard Faust Eithun (ex Emperor, now drummer in Dissection), Aborym has more than delivered on their latest venture into the future of black metal.
Much like the breeding of a crack-whore, begging for her fix of ecstasy, with a sadistic psychopath black metal demon, Aborym combines the underground scenes of both techno/electronica and necro black metal. Make no mistake, though, With No Human Intervention hits you even harder, faster, and meaner than any previous efforts from the band. Songs like the lightly textured computer-groove of Does Not Compute seem to help alleviate the barrage of blast beats programmed by Malfeitor Fabban, Nysrok Infernalien, and other guests, and the filth spewed upon the listener by vocalist Atilla Csihar. But its the times when the band is neither black metal nor techno when they are at their peak. The two styles seem to intertwine to create a sonic landscape from a future Im afraid to ponder. Digital Goat Masque, among other songs, takes this sonic landscape into the realm of tormented post-black metal perfection.
An album like this has no best songs or parts you skip over. Its design was as an entire album of a conceived blackened future; almost a soundtrack to hell on Earth. Much like a night of drug addled bliss, With No Human Intervention will entertain you; it will enlighten you; it will transfix you; it will enthrall your mind in its blasphemous symphony of digital darkness . . . but in the morning, you know there will be a price to pay. Simply put, this album is simultaneously hypnotic and scalding.
