New Weapons For Old Wars, the latest album by COG NULL, is a powerful and thought-provoking release that showcases the band's unique blend of industrial, electronic, and metal influences. From the opening track "Rise of the Machines" to the closing cut "Reborn in Fire," the album is a relentless assault on the senses, with pummeling beats, searing guitar riffs, and haunting synth melodies.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Infected," which features guest vocals by industrial legend KMFDM. The song is a blistering attack on the dehumanizing effects of technology and the dangers of relying too heavily on artificial intelligence. Other highlights include "War Machine," a stomping industrial-metal anthem, and "Dead Inside," a brooding, atmospheric track that showcases the band's more experimental side.
