about

"Hailing from Belgrade, Serbia, WeAreAllSlaves pack a hellacious, digitally distorted wallop. I like to think of VICTIM 5024 // VICTIM 5025 (self-released) as extended peeks into the tortured psyches of mental patients or prisoners in solitary confinement: twin shrill, caustic screams that sound like various, incendiary mixes of a kitchen timer’s disembowelment commingled and soaked in acid. The noxious, queasy vacillation that opens “Victim 5024” gives way to a measured, protracted howl that falls prey to whatever sound filters are responsible for the threshing slashes that crop up; these are soon subsumed under far less agreeable shocks of harassed noise, with the ambiance eventually descending to that of a prison riot, with a tone reminiscent of the Joker’s nightmarish video dispatches from The Dark Knight. “Victim 5025” harries with mechanical bell overload while, in the background, a mighty dragon growls in slow motion, then boards an early-morning commuter train; ultimately those brain-shattering bells are hoisted oppressively high up in the red. Perhaps inadvertently, the two halves pose an interesting philosophical question: Is it worse to suffer a mind that is warped and disordered but consistently so, or to suffer a mind that is largely organized but racked at all times by piercing migraines?"
