With two full-length albums under their belt, Knoll have already made a name for themselves in the underground metal world with their blackened, noisy take on grindcore. But As Spoken might just be their watershed moment; it's a thrillingly dark affair with all of the hallmarks of the genre's great albums that still manages to surprise whenever the opportunity arises.
As Spoken opens on its titular track and immediately gets to work cultivating a suffocating and chaotic atmosphere. Before the first notes of music hit, a static-laced wind sweeps in, eventually fading into the background as the pummeling rhythms and shrieking vocals come to the forefront. However, its presence never entirely disappears, instead adding to the already brooding atmosphere at play. A critical factor in creating that foreboding is that the faster and more traditional grindcore passages are given a chance to breathe. These more conventional sections are lodged between old-school death metal riffage, horrifying noise-influenced passages and even some surprisingly melodic horn phrases.
