Wrench In The Works is a Connecticut-based outfit who are as techically skilled as they are brutal. They don’t offer any breathing space on “Decrease/Increase”, instead opting for a thick and claustrophobic sound that goes for the throat. Opener “Vultures” sets the pace for the rest of the album with plenty of vicious breakdowns and guttural growling. While it’s kinda hard to tell the songs apart as they all blend together in a cool way, I did manage to notice that Wrench In The Works incorporates keyboards in a very cool way in “A Desert Voice” and that “Gethsemane” is one of the sickest tracks on this album.
Take equal parts Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge and Trap Them and you’re getting there. Like all the Facedown acts these guys are christians. I’m not sure however Jesus would approve of “Decrease/Increase” as his soundtrack to life. Which is probably why I like this album so much. Reasoned insanity? Structured madness? Fuck yeah!
Score: 7.5 out of 10
