Avarice In Audio – Trojan Horse (EP – Alfa Matrix)
Genre/Influences: Dark-electro.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: Australian project Avarice In Audio is actually working on their forthcoming full length “From The Rib Of Adam”. This EP is meant as a teaser to announce the fourth full length opus.
Content: “Trojan Horse” is a song in the truest vein of the band; dark-electro driven refined with a catchy touch related to future-pop music. Next to an alternative edit the song has been also remixed by Binary Division creating a more atmospheric version.
Last, but not least we also get an exclusive song entitled “Hellfire Club”, which is featuring Studio-X and Prozium. It’s an instrumental, pumping track.
+ + + : Avarice In Audio transformed dark-electro music into a more accessible format by the addition of catchy leads. The title song is an efficient piece for an EP and the perfect track to announce a new album. “Hellfire Club” is more than simply a B-side cut, but a damned, furious and essential song! I even prefer it to the title song.
– – – : I expected a bit more out of the remix and so-called “Achilles Heel Version” of the title song.
Conclusion: “Trojan Horse” is a solid appetizer to welcome the album of Avarice In Audio!
Best songs: “Hellfire Club”, “Trojan Horse”.
