Transistor Transistor is one of those bands that can bring all the fury without all the noise. They don’t need death metal distortion or the deepest growls you have ever heard in order to unleash their brand of rock-fueled, raging hardcore. Their guitars carry that “I just play whatever I have” type of sound that revolves around fuzzy, overdriven, and jagged tones, while their drums and bass rely more on sheer power than overproduction, and their vocals are genuine shouts and screams, not deep rehearsed grunts or effects-laden shrieks. From start to finish this is an intense and energetic album that fuses filthy drunken rock with hardcore to create an incredible piece of music. Thanks to the production of Kurt Ballou, the whole thing is raw yet clear, chaotic, yet detailed, and simply a pleasure to listen to.
Erase All Name And Likeness plays like one giant chase scene from a horror movie. There are moments of absolute terror where the screams pour out and the music waltzes through tense and noisy dissonance, but then there are those moments when the killer has been averted for a short time and a false sense of calm sets in. Here the band is all heavy breathing, and darting eyes in search of an escape. The tempos may slow and the riffs become soothing, but you know the killer never stays down.
