I'll be upfront. This particular Supplement isn't great or anything. Genetic Wisdom is pretty cool. Interesting even! I'm listening to their debut LP at the moment, and it's just cool enough to write about. The Fear Dimension was released in 1993, which was a sweet year. Don't believe me? It was the year of Ticks and Doink the Clown. It couldn't have been that bad, right? I don't know where trends were in the Netherlands (the band's country of origin), but over here, we were NOT into progressive thrash around this time. Genetic Wisdom would have been seen as emphatically unfashionable. Maybe that's why I dig them. The first track - "Perseverance Kills the Game" - isn't too far removed from what Chuck Schuldiner was cooking up on Human. There are no death metal elements, though. The vocals are...meh. Again, this record won't destroy you, but it shouldn't be this obscure. I had to dig for the songs on The Fear Dimension individually, as I can't find it anywhere to stream or download.
Genetic Wisdom churned out one more album before calling it a day. Check 'em out. Or don't. For metal nerds only.
