Review taken from Slaughterama zine issue 25, available through www.trademe.co.nz
The experimental and dark sounds of Ward 10 captured here on their debut album. First up, it is not one for close minded Metal traditionalist; these guys are willing to use anything at their disposal to craft their sound. It has a strong electronic foundation, with a sharp edged bass sound (sometimes slapped out!) and a well overdriven powerhouse guitar. My Brain automatically pictures this music being played in a cesspit of sin and debauchery; anywhere you’d find PVC, whips, chains, sex, pain, fear, sweat, or any combination thereof. Well worth a listen, and for anyone who buys the album or not, check out Ward 10’s live show to educate yourself on one of NZ’s few theatrical bands
(8/10)
