...impolite to abuse your instrument’s noise-making ability while your vocalist is trying to sing. And as the album’s second single “Chinese Whispers” shows, they’ve become quite adept at integrating melody into mathcore. Throughout the track, TDEP use mellow breaks to release the tension built up during their aggressive sections. For instance, about half-way through the song, Puciato begins to scream atop an angular guitar riff and steady drumbeat.

At one point, she mentions to Robert how oppressive she considers rural life in Skarrild, but the passing comment is about as far as she goes in explaining herself. Her marriage to Jorgen seems rife with complexity, as they seem to share both true affection and animosity for each other. But the film never probes beyond the surface of their relationship. Again, this lack of depth and virtual impossibility of empathizing with a crucial character leaves...
