Almost two years in the making, ‘More Than Just An Ape’ documents the next stage in Digicore’s evolution. Continuing their obsession with the influence of the digital age on the human condition, ‘…Ape’ combines cutting edge electronica with a more refined approach to song writing. Where once chaos reigned amidst the furious digital hardcore of their ‘Without Freedom’ debut, ‘… Ape’s focus is the intensity of the bludgeoning riffs and the strong melodic element that underpins this next-gen monster.
Fronted by producer Danny Carnage, who’s joined by bassist Matt Bastard and drummer Cell, Digicore’s early ‘…Ape’ sessions saw an overhaul in the band’s signature sound, as they attempted to reconciled their more sophisticated approach to intensity whilst remaining true to their punk roots. What followed saw Digicore further embrace the technology at their disposal whilst simultaneously attempting to reclaim their humanity, primarily though the decision to drastically amend Carnage’s vocal style. No longer restricted by having to hide behind a feral roar, Carnage’s cleaner vocals now allow for a truer sense of the corporeal, adding a dynamic edge to the explosive sonic assault, a sound that repurposes Metal, Dubstep, Techno, Gabba and Drum ‘n’ Bass to Digicore’s own particular design.
