For the most part this is an album that confuses as much as it does scar your hearing. James, AKA Aphex Twin, and his song Come To Daddy. When The Dillinger Escape Plan and Mike Patton get together to cover a song and the original is still heavier then you know that this is one heavy artist.

One listen to this you’d never have believed it possible. Luckily for those with a weak stomach he then decided to ditch this seething, hate-filled persona and began to make an altogether less interesting, but far more commercially successful, follow-up that turned him into a household name. Long after most music had lost its power to shock Who Needs Action… revitalised a genre and gave modern music a brand new Boogeyman. There is no let up on later tracks as Drew encourages his stepfather to slit his own throat on the unbelievably bleak Mama (Loves A Crackhead), a song that makes Cannibal Corpse’s lyrics sound like S Club 7 by comparison. It’s unapologetically shocking and is underpinned by his lurching, minimalistic arrangements. Drew gets to work straight away with setting himself up as someone to panic the moral majority with Kidz nonchalantly chucking in the idea of a youth culture that stabs everyone that they aren’t getting pregnant before the remarkable tongue twisting vitriol of Sick 2 Def warns of the power of his music to inspire murder. Who Needs Action… features some of the most brutal lyrical content in a genre that had become all about ‘bling and bitches’. As the last night of an overly long and excessive world tour the German techno quartet had reached the end of their tether and decided to go out and make as much white, shapeless noise as humanly possible. ATR had just imploded in front of the sold-out crowd. Twenty six minutes and thirty eight seconds later the mood had changed to one of hatred, pain, frustration and in comprehension. Being their first UK show in over five years there was palpable excitement in the air as their support band Atari Teenage Riot took to the stage. On November 29th 1999 Nine Inch Nails headlined Brixton Academy. The Holy Bible is the most damning critique of humanity in the history of music, and is still shocking to this very day.Ītari Teenage Riot – Live At Brixton (1999) When an album’s first track talks of buying a baby and cutting off its genitals, as Yes does here, you know it’s no easy ride… And that was released as a single. Although the arrangement to a song like She Is Suffering could appear melodic and beautiful it is haunting when coupled with the lyrics, and much of the record is slow, grinding, obtuse and icy cold. The band don’t soften his lyrical approach with their music either.

Add to this Edwards’ cold, emotionless retelling of the holocaust on The Intense Humming Of Evil and you can see this is a portrait of a man falling apart. It’s hard to think of any artist that has laid his insecurities as bare as Edwards does on songs like the anorexia fantasy of 4st 7lbs or the suicide poetry of Die In The Summertime. The Holy Bible is a supremely disturbing record even when taken away from the now familiar story of its creator. Of course, when it comes down to it, one could argue the same about some human musicians, but the point remains: The genre's true essence, for now, remains beyond the grasp of the machines.Manic Street Preachers – The Holy Bible (1994)Ī pretty good bet for the bleakest, most nihilistic and tortured album recorded in ANY genre of music ever. These songs are simply rehashes of existing death metal tracks that the AI was trained on.

If we're being honest, the quality of the music being produced is not exactly groundbreaking. However, as this YouTube channel streaming nothing but AI-generated death metal 24 hours a day shows, it may not be long before they do. While these AI-generated death metal bands may look impressive, it's important to remember that they aren't actually producing music yet. We got a mix of traditional OSDM themes of necrosis like Necrotic Depravity or Apocalyptic Necrot and more experimental concepts, like Ring Rats which seems to be some sort of traveling death metal wrestling troupe. The AI was given data on popular old-school death metal bands, and the results were.well, something else. Lambgoat, the trailblazers of extreme music journalism, has teamed up with an AI algorithm to create 23 death metal bands that do not exist - because, you know, we don't have enough bands in the world already.
