I hate bands who have album titles like this. it may mean something to them, but to us it's all jargon not required in a genre of already too much self-indulgent attire and opinion. Even so, Intricate are somewhat of a remote space oddity, a combo floating in the cold wastes of cyber-thrash cosmos, a place where not many people dare to tread. However, don't let the cold steel of its glare, or the frozen touch of icy fingers put you off because this German outfit are quite a find. Mind you, those of you seeking a slab of sugary hair metal or red-hot funk had better look elsewhere, because this inhospitable vacuum is way beyond the stars above and instead loiters like some piece of wispy gas in a stratosphere yet formed. Intricate are pretty technical, remote, alien, isolating. In fact, those of you who like your thrash cold and extraterrestrial will probably get a kick out of this, although this has a more crushing, effective bite. The band name says it all, and the album title distances as it intends. Put the heatin' on!
7.5/10
