Bound By Endogamy & Raw Ambassador – Acid Avengers 028 (EP Tripalium Records)
Genre/Influences: Industrial-Acid, Electro, Acid.
Format: Digital, Vinyl.
Background/Info: This new issue of the “Acid Avengers” features three songs by Bound By Endogamy (Switzerland) and two cuts by Raw Ambassador (Italy).
Content: Bound By Endogamy sounds into heavy Industrial-Acid music with cold, emotionless, female vocals on top. Raw Ambassador brings us back to retro Acid with an extra cold touch on top.
+ + + : The debut cut “Jaw 2000” by Bound By Endogamy is a true dancefloor killer; an impressive production mixing Industrial and acid together with sterile vocals on top.Raw Ambassador don’t really innovate but there’s a great, cold, atmosphere recovering their Acid composition.
– – – : Despite of the astonishing “Jaw 2000” both other Bound By Endogamy-cuts are less interesting.
Conclusion: I highly recommend this new issue of “Acid Avengers” for this outstanding Bound By Endogamy-track.
Best songs: Bound By Endogamy: “Jaw 2000” + Raw Ambassador: “Never A Step Back”.
Rate: 8.

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.
