The label warned me in advance saying this was not what I could expect from them and they are damned right! I:scintilla is an industrial metal act fronted by a rather delicious frontwoman, Brittany Bindrim, and is really the last signing I had expected from Alfa Matrix. It has quite some resemblances with The Birthday Massacre (industrial beats and electronics blent in with strong guitar work and rich female vocals) but sounds a lot more controlled and mastered. Knocking off with the 3 tracks “Havestar”, “Scin” and “The bells” you hear that this act has earned its merits already. Each track stands on its own and can easily stand the comparison with other famous acts in this territory. My preference goes to “The bells” because of the pushing rhythm and lovely vocals. 6 remixes have been added on top including the hypnotising Toxin Mix of “Capsella” (if this track does not get national radio airplay they can shoot every goddamn radio DJ). The 5 other mixes dwell in other fields of electronics with Combichrist pulling the band right into the techno atmospheres proving again what a genius Andy is. The same goes for the APB-esque electronic mix by Diskonnekted of “Havestar”: simply delicious! Neikka RPM preferred keeping the band into its guitar ambient adding selective electronics around it, all very subtle keeping it close to the original. Implant from his side knocks everything overboard to bring a reduced clean electropop kling klang version of “Havestar”, should do well in the more fashionable clubs. Finally Klutae enters in a duet with Brittany giving the whole his typical cold electro touch. I would have preferred a more sped up version from Larsen. A daring signing for this Belgian label, let’s see if the public will catch on, I surely did and swear that all fans of The Gathering, Curve, etc will love this one. An album is expected in the next months, in the meantime don’t hesitate picking up this sweet pie. (ED:8)ED.
