Ignition Code - NewTek Lie
Just two years after their first demo, Italian Melodic Technical Death Metal act Ignition Code unleash their debut 'NewTek Lie.' Approaching themes in a similar man vs. machine kind of way that would make Fear Factory proud, the band's rather aggressive chugging approach mixes harsh Metalcore riffs that are semi melodic with Death Metal snarls and somewhat mechanical singing that is certainly industrial, as evident on a track like "Organic Program Failure." The vocal range can switch between mid paced snarls to an earsplitting screech that may be a bit difficult for listeners to stomach, but overall the entire rhythm of the music is quite satisfying due to its mid pace rather than overwhelming speed. Speed is not Ignition Code's game; they prefer groove. "MikroKid" is an excellent example of this as they show off more of their Metalcore roots by even thowing in some clean vocals (non digitized) and offer a technical stop n' go pace that is jarring, but will keep intrigue rather than blow listeners away.
While not really an Industrial Metal band, there is evidence that Ignition Code could swing that way if they wanted to. "Gamegear" makes excellent use of the 'alien vocoder' to create a sci-fi, industrial atmosphere that is unique to the rest of the tracks, but the band throws in plenty of harsh and clean vocals altogether to make the track even more dynamic. Sadly, there aren't many more tracks like this, but at the same time it will make this one quite unique. Overall, listeners who like their music harsh with industrial tinges but not overdone- similar perhaps to a group like Raunchy- and dosed with melody that isn't predictable all the time, then 'NewTek Lie' might be appealing to new fans. For those who have followed Ignition Code so far will see an improved sound from the demo on a few tracks and an overall expansion of their sound altogether.
