Gigan/Multi Dimensional Fractal Sorcery And Super Science/Willowtip/2013 CD Review


  Gigan  are  a  band  from  Florida  that  plays  a  psychedelic  form  of  death  metal  along  with  elements  of  grindcore  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Dimensional  Fractal  Sorcery  and  Super  Science"  which  was  released  by  Willowtip.

   "Beneath  The  Sea  Of  Tranquility"  begins  with  some  sound  effects  which  bring  in  psych  elements  before  going  into  powerful  drums  and  heavy  guitar  riffing  which  utilizes  some  melody  and  setting  up  the  mood  for  some  death  metal  growls  as  well  as  high  pitched  screams  and  after  a  few  minutes  powerful  bass  playing  makes  its  presence  known  along  with  the  psych  sounds  getting  darker  which  leads  to  some  blast  beats  and  the  guitar  riffs  getting  more  brutal  and  technical.

  "Influence  Through  Ritualistic  Projection"  begins  with  brutal  death  metal  guitar  riffs  and  powerful  drumming  which  leads  to  some  high  pitched  screams  and  deep  growls  and  after  a  few  minutes  the  riffs  go  into  a  more  technical  direction  along  with  some  guitar  solos.before  closing  the  song  with  psych  sounds.

  "Electro-Stimuulated  Hallucinatory  Response"  begins  with  technical  guitar  riffs,  drums  and  psych  effects  before  going  into  a  more  brutal  direction  and  bringing  in  the  high  pitched  screams  and  deep  growls  while  also  remaining  technical  at t he  same  time  and  you  can  hear  some  bass  in  the  background  and  after  awhile  the  music  slows  down  and  goes  more  into  a  psych  metal  direction  before  going  back  to  being  fast  and  brutal  with  some  blast  beats  which  leads  to  a  brief  use  of  guitar  solos  before  going  into  a  slower  direction  and  the  song  closes  with  some  sound  effects.

  "Mother  Of  Toads"  begins  with  brutal  blast  beats  and  technical  guitar  riffs  which  then  leads  to  some  deep  growls  and  high  pitched  screams  and  then t he  music  starts  switching  back  and  forth  between  slow  and  fast  parts  along  with  a  small  amount  of  chants  and  heavy  bass  guitars  which  leads  to  psych  elements  making t heir  presence  known,  as  the  song  moves  on  the  guitars  vanish  for  awhile  and  the  song  goes  more  into  a  psychedelic direction.

  "Obsidian  Sun"  begins  with  a  psychedelic  sound  before  kicking  into  drums,  melodic  guitar  riffs  and  powerful  bass  playing  before  going  into  a  heavier  direction  along  with  some  deep  death  metal  growls  and  high  pitched  screams  along  with  the  music  mixing  in  technical  elements.

  "Cosmic  Triangular  Communications"  begins  with  some  technical  and  melodic  guitar  riffing  which  leads  to  some  drums  and  growls  which  also  set  up  the  mood  for  a  brief  use  of  guitar  leads  as  well  as  high  pitched  screams  making  their  presence  known  and  after  awhile  the  song  starts  mixing in  heavy  bass  playing  and  sound  effects  which  also  closes  the  song.

  "Gibbering  Hordes  Of  Zemiath"  begins  with  with  fast  and  brutal  guitar  riffs  and  drums  setting  up  the  mood  for  some  growls  and  screams  before  slowing  down  and  going  into  a  more  technical  direction  which  then  leads  to  the  song  switching  back  and  forth  between  slow  and  fast  parts  along  with  the  riffing  utilizing  more  melody  and  the  song  closes  with  some  sound  effects.

  "Bio-Engineered  Molecular  Abnormalities"  begins  with  some  heavy  guitar  riffs  and  powerful  drums  that  lead  to  some  growls  and  screams  as  well  as  mixing  technical  and  psych  elements  with  the  heavier  parts  as  well  as  heading  into  a  slower  direction

  Song  lyrics  cover  Scientific,  Philosophical,  Metaphysical  and  Occultism  themes,  while  the  production  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of t he  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  with  some  of  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length  and  the  song  and  album  closes  with  some  sound  effects.

  In  my  opinion  Gigan  are  a  very  great  and  original  sounding  psychedelic,  technical  death  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a f an  of t his  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out t his  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Influence  Through  Ritualistic  Projection"  "Cosmic  Triangular  Communications"  and  "Bio-Engineered  Molecular  Abnormalities".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
