Watchmaker play an abrasive style of grindcore with a touch of black metal. Sounds like an odd genre to draw influence from, but it works. The song structures, production, vocals, and most of the whole thing really is more on the grind side, but the riffing style is mostly tremolo-picking with a distinct black metal feel. The first album is the rawest one and I'd say it's also the least sophisticated considering the style of the three full-lengths - it's a bit more experimental, has longer songs, the direction isn't very clear yet - but it's very powerful and still a very good album to say the least. The second and third albums are more refined, but not a bit less punishing. Kill. Fucking. Everyone. is so intense it will rape your existence. The split with Hirudinea features songs akin to those on the last two full-lengths, but with a rawer production. Combining the harshness and rage of grind with the nihilistic bleakness of black metal, Watchmaker are a force not to be fucked with.
