The Maul is rather eclectic synthcore, noise band from Switzerland. The music
swerves back and forth between electronically influenced guitars and thundering
waves of feedback and noise. The only constant on the album is the short
duration of the tracks and the socio-political nature of the lyrics. A large
percentage of the tracks even have a very anti-capitolist feel to them and yet
they even perform a less than noteworthy cover of 'Head Like A Hole' by Nine
Inch Nails. Overall I think the key problem with this release is in it's
inability to choose a singular musical genre and stick with it. Each tracks
spends way too long veering off on pointless tangents that it has no time to
retain any central cohesiveness. As a result the contiguity suffers and the
album seems more like a compilation of individual artists rather than a single
band.
