Fans of Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age and Smashing Pumpkins you better prick up your ears and pay attention to the cataclysmically rapturous creation brought to you by Andrew Masseurs & Jason Murphy’s. The two Alt Rock came together to create the raucously stunning single ‘Night of Annihilation’, sounds fun, doesn’t it? And it is. It’s the type of track you wouldn’t think twice before screaming the chorus on a crowded dancefloor thanks to the irresistible soundbites which are riddled into the lyrics of the track.
Whilst Andrew Masseurs’ vocal style may carry a slight reminiscence to Trent Reznor’s, yet he carries an individualistic hypnotic quality within his vocal arrangement which moves from breathy pensive vocals to amplified offerings free from any restraint. If that wasn’t enough to sell the sound the instrumentals instrumentals which are fronted by high-octane guitar progressions and breakdowns should sway the audiophiles. Riddled into the Alt Rock cocktail is the haunting reverb which you’d find in any self-respecting Post Punk track, around Hard Stoner Rock punchy thrashing drum rolls. In short, it’s prodigal, it’s conceptual, and it’s mastered to perfection.
