This adds some replay to those of us like myself who have already played those songs into infinity. You have to give them credit for the sly additions and updates when re-recording songs from the EP for the album.
THE SCHOENBERG AUTOMATON FULL
Vela is overwhelming and full of amazing massively crushing tracks like “Arecibo,” “Pineapple Juice & The Tough Stuffed Olive”, and “All Roads Lead To Rome.” Vela delivers in spades and builds upon their unorthodox mix of Ion Dissonance-style mathcore and Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza grooves covered in technical death metal. The band’s 2011 self-titled three-song EP was a powerful notice to the world that something big was coming. He also made very atonal, dissonant music unlike anything previously heard and was a huge influence on composers from the 19th century to the present. He was a brilliant man who conceived the twelve-tone writing technique still used today, including in metal by people such as Ron Jarzombek. The name alone had me hooked, as my love for composer Arnold Schoenberg runs deep. The Schoenberg Automaton is a group I’ve followed intensely ever since I first heard rumblings of their bizarre brutality from Australia.
