Canadian avant-garde metal troupe The End had a lot of explaining to do following the release of their freakishly named debut, 2002's Transfer Trachea Reverberations from Point: False Omniscient. Infeasibly dense and demanding, its only intention seemed to be out-weirding the likes of Today Is the Day or the Dillinger Escape Plan in terms of sheer, extreme music lunacy. Thankfully, the band's first album-length work, 2004's Within Dividia, not only scaled back the group's enraged musical assault just a tad, but also comes with a lyric sheet. And well it should, seeing as it's a self-described "film noir" detailing the story of the fictional "Dividia Estate" and its residents. It's amazing how the most basic set of parameters can bring context to a dauntingly oblique situation, shedding light on The End's unconventional vision and admirable grasp of melodic and dynamic nuances. Fidgety arrangements filled with intricate time changes and piles upon piles of guitar riffs seemingly at war with each other are still key components of Within Dividia's sonic makeup; only now, thick harmonies and well-placed softer passages create a more focused and linear flow to thematically linked numbers like "These Walls," "The Sense of Reverence," and "Dear Martyr." Instead of a hodgepodge collection of manic musical outbursts, the end result is a true album experience -- and a welcome adventure for metal fans with a taste for the eccentric and unusual. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
Personnel: Aaron Wolff (vocals); Andrew Hercules (guitar); Anthony Salajko (drums).
Recording information: Wild Studio, St-Zenon, Quebec, Canada.
Within Dividia Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)   Such talent! This band knows how to rock. They are exactly like Ion Dissonance. Both styles are surprisingly equal. Math metal at it's best and very demonically heavy! Submitted by Mike (Michigan, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Breathtaking This album is truly breathtaking. A great example of math metal. If you listen to Dillinger Escape Plan you should check out The End. They are 5 very talented musicians. I can't even describe what an amazing drummer Anthony Solajko is. As a drummer myslef I am truly in awe of his skills. You really have to check it out. If you get a chance you should also check them out live. They'll be on tour in the U.S. from the end of May until late June. Don't miss the opportunity to see one of the most promising bands in this genre. Submitted by Melissa (Montreal, QC, Canada) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
The way MATH METAL should be Now THE END is a fine example of math metal. These guys are up there with Dillinger. This cd is intense from start to the last painfull second. When i play this in my car it sounds like friggin' machine guns and that sound is awesome. BUY THIS NOW or die! God has spoken \m/

Within Dividia album
$11.65 EVERCLEAR, AMC's finest hour and one the '90s' most powerful albums, is simultaneously lush and searing, heartache and despair borne out in elegant arrangements that combine fragile prettiness and soul-baring howls of pain. Multi-instrumentalist Bruce Kaphan rose to the occasion of his production debut. The canyons of reverb on the instruments are strangely appropriate, highlighting the almost decadent, tragically beautiful feel of ...

| | Ahvak CD (2004)
Within Dividia songs
$15.05 Although this is the debut recording from Israeli band Ahvak, the music is tight, complex, and mature -- not the sort of result normally associated with a fledgling band. But age (and experience) are relative, and the bandmembers had been working and rehearsing together for at least two years prior to this recording. No harm, either, that several of Ahvak's principal members are conservatory-trained composers and musicians, and that the drummer is expatriate American Dave Kerman, a veteran of art rock bands 5uu's, Motor Totemist Guild, and Thinking Plague. These diverse ingredients add up to a very nice piece of work, characterized in part by the dissonance and sledgehammer intensity of Zeuhl-style goth groups like Univers Zero or Present, but with legitimate art rock and even chamber music pretensions as well, and a musical scope and dexterity that are superior to more narrow-focused musical kin. Tricky polyrhythms and chromatic instability ...

Within Dividia CD music
$10.69 Includes the complete PITCHFORK 7" EP (1991) and rare bonus tracks.
Pitchfork & Lost Needles includes Clutch's debut 7" in its four-song entirety and augments that with unreleased tracks and demo versions. As this set proves, the veteran quartet began as a band crouched between the Melvins, a viscous form of hardcore (think a slower, more economic Sick of It All), and the literate but still loud post-punk of Jawbox. "Wicker" is in blistering half-time, its layers of needling guitars and Neil Fallon's yawping proclamations ...
