Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys biography, Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys discography
Punk: Gothic MetalMood: BroodingBy LocationUSA: Mass.The Army of Broken Toys is musical alchemy, fingering the rabbit hole of performance art.Walter Sickert (vox ,guitar, programming, guitar, bass, keys, samples).Satanic is too jolly a word for it...Optic Rose wants to bring them to the surface for you.Leah CallahanreviewsPlease log in to review this album.Army of Broken Toys has been described as ..Though you shouldn't judge a book, or a CD, by its cover, the packaging on the eponymous release from the Allston, Mass.Army of Broken Toys
All songs written and recorded by Walter Sickert
Additional vocals by Edrie
Mastered by Dana J.Apparent influences abound, including electronic, goth, metal, experimental, rock and even country.More than anything, however, this album is driven by past experiences and an organic industrial sound.Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys really are shattered and destroyed.The song literally tears itself apart over issues of heartbreak, with the words and music working in seemingly accidental tandem.The quick rhythms and honest lyrics force the listener to step back and think about their own definition of love.And when one has come to believe that love may indeed be lost, Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys prove that more loss can exist than ever thought imaginable through ..It strikes upon the sensation that a loved one will never be able to get passed his or her anguish over a breakup and instead turns to revenge.Kristine Catalognaauthor: SepiachordIncluding toy instruments, even the implication of toy instruments, on your recording is an iffy maneuver.You can hear the snapping of tiny aortic wires and springs on this recording.Each song is a densely layered assemblage where Sickert's voice is accompanied by sounds that seem simultaneously natural and treated.They move in and out of prominence like haywire echoes.This layering is most evocative of industrial music in the days when the actual and the sampled became interchangeable.Walter's voice is the most consistantly distorted sound on the album.That, together with the raw almost naked subject matter of love lost, is reminiscent of the early work of Nine Inch Nails.This is a man who has been damaged, broken.Sickert isn't sick, he isn't someone rotting on the inside.We're only given the name of one of the broken toy army: Edrie.Her vocals arrive occasionally to counterpoint Walter's.CD
Holy damn, this is so good.This album confirms my belief that life can be hell.And I shall be the one to tell him to!An overly dark record with plenty to consume, i won;t get tired of this album.Lets go right down the line
NHS: Dancing around the fire of Agony, Percusion driven song fabulous.Lows: Did someone say Johnny Cash?La Divorce: Circusey melody, angry Vox and a Tamborine to carry us through this song, makes you wanna sway.Bone Slag: Haunting piano, Waltz?Sister Inhalation: Itunes says its called Crash our ships...Acoustic melodies and layered walter, nice southern rock solo at the end, great song overall, not to mention the great multi Vocal melody at the end.Hell Holds: great up beat melody to end the record.Its hard to talk about the hightlights of the LP when the whole album is its own Highlight, go see these guys play live if you get a chance...Marque de Wilde ReviewThis album is brilliantly woven tapestry of madness music and lyrics.Each track stands on its own, complete masterful and placed end to end they form something even more extraordinary.This video will appear on your blog shortly.Thank you for sharing this video!This video has been added to your favorites.Please login to add to your playlists.Please login to add to flag a video.This video has no Responses.Change this to see only comments above a certain value.Change the value of a comment by clicking on a thumb.Would you like to comment?The Countdow n, Season I..."YouTube recommends upgrading to a safer, modern browsersuch as Firefox.Try the New YouTube Player Beta!Thank you for sharing this video!This video has been added to your favorites.Please login to add to favorites.The video has been added to your playlist."YouTube recommends upgrading to a safer, modern browsersuch as Firefox."Are you sure you want to remove this connection?"Army of Broken Toys have played across New

How Can I Help?Good News and bad newsa major minor thing...The rhythms are subdued by a soft guitar.Garde, it is the immediacy of the experience and the feelings that resonate after that experience that guides them to the beauty of the piece.You never know what you will get.Not to mention that out of all of the samplers I have ever used,
these two little work horses constantly deliver, even if you accidentally
soak them in blood or they get rained on; always a plus with any gear.The MicroKorg is a god stuck in a small keyboard, from straight up
church organ to space aged noiseatronic fluctuations not to mention its
built in vocoder!The Korg MicroSynth is an important piece of plastic and
wires that we are glad to have in our box of toys.There is a wide range from good to
horrible in their guitars.What appeals to you about the one you have?This guitar was handed down to
me from my father coming with documentation of it authenticity.An
instrument like this could easily be put on a shelf to be kept safe but in
doing so it would lose its purpose and its black magic would evaporate.It's true that guitar has a soul and it might be Walter's.It is
louder and sweeter and more melodic then any guitar I have ever heard.Art, oddities, human contortion, noise distortion, circus rumpus
and shows, shows, shows in the clubs in the streets.They may even do a new CD and have a website in the works.Patrick Ogle writes for Gearwire.Post new comment No HTML Allowed.The content of this field is kept private and will not be shown publicly.No HTML tags allowedLines and paragraphs break automatically."You must be logged in to do that.
