Videodrone - Videodrone
Grade: C+
By Jess Redmon
 Malice with forethought and a methodical blend of demonic dance vibes encompass
Videodrone's self-titled debut. Being the next band to release an album on Korn's
Elementree label, following the illustrious footsteps of Orgy, Videodrone construct a
wicked, manipulating blend of smoothly blended industrial rhythms and dark textures.
The first track "Ty Jonathan Down" features Korn's Jonathan Davis in a torturous subtle
anthem of understated beats and a grueling textured backdrop. "Faceplant" showcases
Videodrone in their single-friendly atmosphere with a chilling chorus and powerfully
subtle overtones. Vocalist Ty Elam hovers above the masterfully textured and haunting
blend of dark, post-industrial vibes. Videodrone's contribution to Elementree is an album
that stands on its own, that challenges sonic and post-industrial standards and creates
its own shadowed universe. Although not containing a roster of great songs, the musical
textures of Videodrone are worth hearing.
