The Doppler Effect in 20 words or less:
It's like Mathcore and Electronica just had sex, and this is the bastard byproduct.
The Artist:
Fusing elements of progressive metal and math metal, with electronica and dubstep, The Algorithm is the brainchild of Rémi Gallego. Originally wanting to record mathcore oriented songs for fun Gallego decided to add synth to the mix because he was in an electronic type of mood. Add a catchy fitting name and thus, The Algorithm was born. Gallego also spends time playing guitar in the post-hardcore band Floating Wood.
The Algorithm's other releases to date include: CRTICIAL.ERROR (2010) and Identity (2011)
Jay's Take on The Doppler Effect:
I originally came across The Algorithm when I was looking for some new dubstep tracks to listen to one day and got reeled in instantly while listening to the Doppler Effect. This demo was Gallego's first release under The Algorithm and it manages to weave together the traditional elements of math metal, progressive riffs and blast beats, with well placed samples, flourishes of electronic arpeggio's and plenty of synth to go around. It has that slightly under-produced quality that any demo should have, which is always welcome in my book. Each of his releases opens with a clean electronic track, opening up the way for a body full of nothing short of trippy brutality. I can dig it.
