Diskonnekt – La Morte Del Sole (Digital/CD Album – Halotan Records)
The Italian band Diskonnekt has been active for several years and is releasing their second album this year. It is admittedly a short album, as there are only 7 tracks to discover.
If you are not yet familiar with this band and you love Dark-Electro and Aggrotech, then this band is the right choice for you. As I said, there are only 7 tracks, but they will quickly shake the ground—and especially dance floors. I think Diskonnekt can be placed somewhere between Hocico and Suicide Commando. It is pure musical aggression that sounds as if it is directly connected to hell. Hard and merciless beats and sequences are unleashed upon you, while solid leads make the whole thing sound even more infectious. The vocal production also sounds harsh, just as if a possessed person is singing. However, Diskonnekt’s strength also lies in the fact that the songs are well-finished, resulting in a mature production.
Not a single track here is worth discarding; instead, you will discover a succession of incredibly strong songs. Diskonnekt is a name to remember. (Rating:9).

About Diskonnekt
Diskonnekt is an Italian dark electro duo. The project released its self-titled debut album in 2020, followed by further material before signing to Halotan Records, the Polish label known for its long-running sampler compilation series. Halotan describes the group’s sound as “gritty and aggressive dark electro / electro industrial”, with vocals sung in Italian, a rarity within the genre. The label released Diskonnekt’s second album, “La Morte Del Sole”, as a digipack CD with a free digital download.
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.
