Tonight on the Metal Hammer of Doom we are reviewing Signal Fire by Genghis Tron. After disappearing for more than a decade and returning in 2021 with the atmospheric, psychedelic Dream Weapon, Genghis Tron have now found a way to reconnect with the violence of their early material without simply repeating it. Signal Fire brings back the screaming, blast beats and abrasive guitars, but combines them with synth-pop, electronic textures, hypnotic repetition and the expanded rhythm section that transformed the band’s sound. We’ll discuss how the album developed, the addition of bassist Kenny Szymanski, the decision to work with producer Seth Manchester, and how the record reflects a world of information overload, warfare and increasingly unstable ideas of reality. We’ll also ask whether this synthesis of old and new Genghis Tron actually works, how Signal Fire compares with Board Up the House and Dream Weapon, and whether the metal crowd finally gets the Genghis Tron album it wanted.
