"Aborym. Dont know a heck of a lot about this band, but I do know that the lyrics were compiled by ex-EMPEROR dude Bard Eithun, and guests on the album include: vocalist/guitarist Nattefrost (of Norwegian Black Metal band CARPATHIAN FOREST), and drummer Migg (of Doom band MISTRESS & Black Metal band ANAAL NATHRAKH) - however - this is their only album I've actually heard. Well, "With No Human Intervention" is one of those albums that changes rapidly from one genre to another quite often in the same track. The intro is spoken words by children. The title track sports more BLACK METAL than anything else, with electronic sounds in the background. "Does Not Compute" is a strange track, containing a loop of a computer booting-up sample, and an electronic beat similar to APHEX TWIN. "Digital Goat Masque" consists of a mix of slow atmospheric & classical synth, fast & slow drums, heavy & cruisy guitar riffs, pretty much just an allround good decent track, probably my favourite. "The Triumph" mixes cool spooky electronic sounds, heavy & tranquil guitar and a good solo, raspy/growled and semi-clean sung vox, and female orgasm!! Final track "Automatik Rave'olution Aborym " is yet another electronic track - more TECHNO (note: RAVE'olution) this time. Although this album is predominantly METAL, there is a lot of electronica goin on here, and if your not a fan of the whole TECHNO/INDUSTRIAL or EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRONIC sounds, then you probably should'nt bother with this CD. Otherwise, go for it, you may be pleasantly suprised."

"Aborym just keeps getting better and better from the last release to their next. This is their absolute best album to date and an etremly heavy one as well. Aborym incorperate a variety of musical styles which many call Post-Blackmetal, this style of black metal is just an apocalyptic vision of music. Hard hitting crushing metal with industrial and even some "techno" influence. On a closing Amazon's rate or price is far to high, try Red Stream Records."
