Out of a cold, dark mist, a metal ship emerges. The sounds of aggression rise and attack your eardrums. Shark Attack Golf knows edgy and metal and we’ve been called the mosh pit of Golf. We recently received a copy of the newest release by Mechanization. These tracts are powerful and each has a unique drive. The opening blast comes in an effort called Approaching the Spectre’s Emblem and you feel that a battle is about to erupt in a land of Vikings. Mechanization does have a mechanical or industrial base in its music, especially the drum side but unlike some robotic sounding bands, the sound simply comes across as tight and clean with the real darkness being produced by the guitar and vocals. The band has many influences and the sound is symbolic of a clash between Amon Amarth and Cannibal Corpse but with more melodic vocals. The work put into this project is obvious and the usual slacking of some tracts is pleasantly absent. The flow of music is hard, full of energy and a natural progression. I also like the directional changes that the band makes from song to song and often within the song. Overall, a great mix of heavy and melodic without being boxed into a mold that so often haunts the metal genre. I felt a connection with several tracts and I would not hesitate to release them in any chosen order. This album is well worth the purchase and Shark Attack Golf rates it an 8 out of 10 shark teeth scale. Hopefully, you will hear much more from Mechanization as their music may be featured in some of our future video creations.
