Do you remember the early Godflesh or Scorn releases, where guitars were roaring and throats were bleeding? Well, Mark Kammerbauer dug a lot the innovation of those two bands because some years after that explosion of rage he took that spirit, melting it with some elements of power noise and breakcore just to form his project Fragment King. Formed on early 1996 as continuation of a freejazz-grindcore band called New Leadership, the project released a first vinyl in 1999 ("Cities and seasons" compilation), a limited release of the LIVE AT SI cassette tape in 2002 and the "Simple things are often monstrous" split vinyl release with Nexicon on 2003. I don't know how Fragment King was sounding on his early releases but the ten tracks of GREY ALBUM convinced me immediately with that dark grinding guitars and with that treated voice that seems starving for more razorblades. The first track "Scape [a]" is a industrial chaotic fragmented manifesto, while the other ones, starting from "Brutalitarian", sound granitic and compact. The guitar sound form a wall of noise while rhythms are clear and powerful. On the twelve minutes long track, "Emperor slug", after seven minutes of "in your face" music everything falls apart just to leave space to the ambient industrialism of digital crashes. After this pause the sound starts again with its guitar/digital assault arriving to the closing "Scape [b]", a sort of revisited eigth minutes long revisitation of the opening track which has a long ambient metal coda after the fragmented noises. Try it!
