When we last heard from Genghis Tron, with 2008’s Board Up The House, a word such as ‘beautiful’ would not likely have been used as a descriptor of the band’s sound, which at the time was much more abrasive and aggressive. Fast forward to 2021 and the band is back with a new album and a new sound with Dream Weapon.
While they can’t really be classified as a metal band anymore at this point, there is still a certain sort of heaviness to be found in Dream Weapon (and with the addition of a live drummer for the first time in the band’s history, they’ve certainly added some heft to the proceedings). But by taking things in a new direction, Genghis Tron has produced something just as compelling and powerful in its own way.
