Alfa Matrix signs old-school EBM side-project Restricted Area aka Elm mastered by Pontus Stålberg (Spetsnaz) – first download EP available now!
Alfa Matrix recently added the Swedish one-man old school EBM army Elm to its roster. Elm is noon else than electro veteran Peter Elm (Restricted Area) who recently relocated to Brussels, cradle of the EBM movement, to compose the first EP for Elm. The EP, entitled “Edge”, was mastered by EBM-comrade Pontus Stålberg (Spetsnaz). You can hear the result below, it’s extremely close to the good old Nitzer Ebb, that’s for sure!
The EP can be downloaded now from Bandcamp.
The 7-track EP holds 6 versions of the title song “Edge” including remakes by Autodafeh, Pouppée Fabrikk and Hardwire. Also added is a bonus percussive track sung in French, entitled “Brofar”. The EP announces a forthcoming album aptly titled “Hardline”.
A project you have to keep an eye on!
