- With their three Argument releases, Daniele Guerrini and Matthias Girardi made a strong impression as Cage Suburbia. Now that the series has been put to bed, so too has the duo's paranoid punk sound—for the time being, anyway. Instead, Girardi's latest EP as Weightausend EP turns to sludgy club music and electronic decompositions that rouse in a more subtle fashion.
Meet Your Doom! sounds far less threatening than its title implies. "Green Death" makes a brittle, Skull Disco-esque track out of bare-bones jungle, which is stripped back even further on the "DripDub" version. Girardi has said the idea there was to make it "more violent," though it also feels subdued and brooding. "Meet Your Doom!" adds choir music and scurrying metallic sounds to the percussion of "Green Death," making a gothy brew that's odd but not unpleasant. On his remix, Christoph De Babalon makes better sense of the title track, turning its voices into vapour and giving the record some added weight.
