Fantastically dark, elegantly industrial, Cyst by The Wretch is a suprisingly nuanced album that favors dynamic variation over mindlessly repeated loops. It's a hybrid of noisecore and drum 'n'bass, but with really smart rhythms and a noise-ambient wash that lends a huge amount of atmosphere and depth. There's a really satisfying level of sonic texture on Cyst too; the juxtaposition of totally glitched out, ever-changing beats with the eerie ghost calls and dystopian waveforms in the background works really well. The opener "Turned" and "Do You" are great, "This is Terror" is beautifully brutal, and we absolutely love"Feel The Burning."
