Genghis Tron - Jason Bergman

Board Up the House

When MetalKult trekked out to Brooklyn on June 16, 2007, to catch Pig Destroyer’s record release show, we knew we were in for a night of sonic bludgeoning from the Virginia grind band. But, what we didn’t know was that we would also be thoroughly won over by opening act Genghis Tron’s bombast of finger tapping goodness, power electronic madness, drum machine terror and heinous vocal onslaught.

By the time the Philly three-piece—featuring Mookie Singerman (vox/keys), Michael Sochynsky (keys/drum programming) and Hamilton Jordan (guitar)—concluded its raucous set, we knew we wanted to do something with these young, noisy shredders.

It just so happened that Genghis Tron were in the process of writing for their forthcoming third release, Board Up the House (Relapse Records). So when the time came for the band to enter Massachusetts’ GodCity Studio to record with Kurt Ballou, we realized our opportunity had arrived. And luckily for us, the GT dudes went along with it and agreed to grab a MetalKult camera and document the process.

Below, in our exclusive six-part video feature, check out this unparalleled behind-the-scenes action from a hardworking, progressively minded band exploring the boundaries of heavy music.
