SYZTEM 7 – Evolving

Seattle’s SYZTEM7 hit the ground running with their new album Evolving. Blending many genres to create a satisfyingly unique but strangely familiar sound, the industrial grunge hybrid have a created a polished album of hook laden tracks with ease of appeal. Production is crisp, writing is solid. Riffs are low and heavy with a surge of synth very reminiscent of Rammstein and Megahetz. Whilst perhaps not as technically ambitious as Nine Inch Nails or as dark as Marilyn Manson, the eight tracks on offer on Evolving have sufficient depth and character to work as a complete piece of work; perhaps greater than the sum of its parts.

That is not to say that each of the tracks measured on their own merit do not stand up; they do. Guitars courtesy of Jaymz Kennedy and Shane Scott impress and the thunderous low end bass of Nathan Raynes and drums by Ed Rhoads complete the musical backdrop to Jason Ames’ powerful yet soulful vocals. SYZTEM7 have toured with and therefore cut their teeth with some big names such as Rob Zombie, the formally mentioned Marilyn Manson and even Kings X so they can hold their own on the large stages.
