Acylum – Zuchthaus (Album – Digital/CD – Alfa Matrix)
Acylum has been around for 20 years. The German duo hits back with the new album “Zuchthaus”, which sounds extremely dark and tormented. This is pure Dark-Electro music straight from hell. Provocative samplings, ice-cold melodies, Industrial rhythms and distorted vocals lead the listener into an apocalyptic experience. The bonus disc contains a solid portion of remixes adding more than just an extra to the album. “Zuchthaus” was released on Alfa Matrix. (Rate: 8)

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help.

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
