Opener "Fachgerecht Planebnen" is off-kilter and driven by chaos on jagged edges, pretty Kill Sadie meets the intensity of Drei Affen. Title track "Rotation Um Die Ich-Achse" is very chaotic and shrieky, almost like Orchid and The Death Of Anna Karina...and Francis Brady...obviously. "DIN 100101" is fast, menacing, and chaotic with a slight peppering of obvious melodies and hooks. Despite the short length (1:23) of "When it Comes Down To It", this little ditty still packs a punch but definitely crosses a few genre lines and the result is the band's most accessible tune. "Ideal Individual" begins with a jazzy intro that could have wounded up on a Mustaphammond release, but the subsequent waves of electrified screamo are fucking incredible, making this the standout track on the record. I would liken it to a mixture of Tristan Tzara and Yage. So fucking good! "Die Augen Können Sie Schliessen, Die Ohren Nicht" brings the Orchid and early Death Of Anna Karina vibes back, but there's a crazy breakdown palpitation at the one-minute mark that floors me every time. Closer "In Line" is a weird one with some peculiar guitar riffs, but with most of the song retaining the standard DELEOMETER sound it still works, it's just not my favorite, just a bit quirky and sometimes "metal" likes it's a Black Sabbath cover.
I must have seen somewhere online that the vocalist of Francis Brady (or one of them, at least) ended up in a band called DELEOMETER. Eventually stumbling onto their 2007 album 'Rotation Um Die Ich Achse'...I couldn't fucking believe my luck when I found out they are even better than their predecessor. I've actually been putting this review off for years because the online songs are ripped from a turntable and it's a kinda noisy turntable, and knew I was getting the 12" from a friend in Europe I was simply going to make a new version to put online. But by the time it arrived my record player began playing records slightly fast so said new version wouldn't be a better quality version, it'd just be slightly faster than it should be. So I've abandoned the idea of doing that, but come to the conclusion I need to write this review. Time is short. Let's go.
Luckily for us there is a Youtube channel that just uploaded the band's two demo cds, the first of which has a different vocalist and the second is two demos from the band's final output aka said 12"LP. I won't waste time discussing them here because it's the LP that's worth your time more than anything else, but I've embedded them below and made mp3s so you can download the entire discography.
And there ya go, one of history's best and rarely discussed screamo albums. I've done the extra work for you and separated the single album mp3 (which is available online) by breaking it down into the seven track mp3s. You can find all those links below.
