Crackpot Theory: Parental Advisory

By Alistar Wickens
Parental Advisory is a ripping set of nine death metal style tracks from one talented 18 year old recording (in his bedroom) under the name Crackpot Theory. I had the pleasure of reviewing his last output recently and commented then that I thought he had the potential to go far, as long as he kept growing his writing (or something along those lines). He’s certainly done that with this release, which expands on his earlier work but comes out sounding better produced and more mature. The handwritten notes accompanying the album mention that he wanted this album to be fast, heavy, technical, melodic and listenable all at the same time - and I would have to say that he’s hit all those points and hit them well.
