“…if droning sludge/doom is your cup of metal tea then picking this up should be a no-brainer; it’s an extreme doom classic. However, “Tyrant” is also not a bad intro to the world of extreme doom and drone metal for those who are coming off the lead of prominent acts like Isis or High On Fire and who truly dig the darkness of black metal vocals.”  –metalunderground.com

The second full length from this Baltimore trio, “Addict Rhythms” is a collection of 12 catchy, melodic punk tunes centered around the city Dead Mechanical calls home. Lucas’s songs continue to critique the world outside his apartment (and sometimes rather unnervingly inside) with his Blake Schwarzenbach styled raspy croon, while Matt’s songs take on a more ethereal tone full of playful hooks a la Superchunk, but the trio comes together in their songwriting to add their own touch to keep the songs distinctly their own.
