Chainreactor – War Machinery (Digital/CD Album – ProNoize / Dark Dimensions)
Jens Minor returns with the tenth album from his Chainreactor project.
Over the years, this German sonic ogre has explored different phases in both style and approach. Now, however, he circles back to his roots—delivering raw power through a perfect fusion of Dark-Electro, Industrial, and Rave. Vocals have long since given way to the project’s signature use of classic yet essential spoken-word samples, and the result is music that hits hard and unrelentingly.
Repetitive sequences drive the pulse, occasionally disrupted by unexpected twists—such as a razor-sharp Acid line or passages subtly refined with strings. The overall impression is one of intensity: exhilarating, unpolished, and impossible to resist.
At this point, Chainreactor has nothing left to prove. With this new opus, Chainreactor once again unleashes a sonic bomb designed to devastate dance floors. (Rating: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.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
