Alien Nation – The Age Of Satan (EP – Insane Records)
Genre/Influences: Dark-Electro.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: Colombian Dark-Electro project Alien/Nations strikes back with five new cuts.
Content: The work is mixing ‘traditional’ Dark-Electro cuts together with other pieces injected with Techno vibes. The vocals are harsh, distorted and hard to understand.
+ + + : Alien:Nation composed dance-power; dark music for the dancefloors. The classical dark-Electro cuts are the most convincing ones and I especially recommend “Crypto Goat”.
– – – : Both debut cuts are definitely Dark-Electro driven but still infused with Techno elements which sound a bit blasphemous to me. So the title definitely appears to be the right one…
Conclusion: If you are a dark soul who likes Electronic music and wants to dance you definitely will be a disciple of “The Age Of Satan”.
Best songs: “Crypto Goat”, “Desvaneciendo”.
Rate: 7.
