Minority Sound – The Explorer (2012)

cover

Hailing from the Czech Republic, today we have Minority Sound and their very catchy brand of Industrial Metal with some Electronic and Groovy modern elements. Catering to fans of bands like Silent Descent, Sybreed, etc, Minority Sound delivers eight solid tracks of heavy riffs colliding with super effective electronic beats creating ‘rave party’ Metal music.

Opening with razor sharp riffs on tracks like “Hostile In Your Skull” and “Load of Destruction”, the band really delivers when it comes to catchy electronic elements paired with groovy riffs. The mixture of growls and clean vocals is pretty solid and allows the songs to quickly shift from heavy and aggressive to ethereal and catchy. Emphasizing on atmospheric elements, “The Explorer” and “Zealots” showcase the band’s ability to make engaging songs that are different from each other.

“Wipeout the Virus” is our favorite track due to its uniqueness and effectiveness in terms of mixing different influences in a very free-flowing composition. The transitions between the clean vocals and harsh growls are very well done and make this track shift momentum from one minute to another. The album fades away with “The End of All”, a track that nicely closes a very solid release with some nice drifting sounds.

Overall, we are quite impressed by the musical maturity of Minority Sound. The band does a great job in crafting simple and catchy melodies in all of their tracks. However, we still feel that there is something missing in making them a bit more unique. Other bands have a bigger technical edge over them (like Sybreed), but it is just part of the process as Minority Sound is a relatively new band. “The Explorer” is recommended by us if you like catchy extreme metal with funky electronic elements.
