Feverdreamt – Decay Is Present (Album – Digital/CD/Cassette – Blackjack Illuminist Records)
Feverdreamt is one of the many musical projects by German artist and label owner Alexander Donat. Unlike his other projects, such as Vlimmer and Assassun, Feverdreamt presents a distinct sound. This third album begins with a pronounced, recognizable Gothic atmosphere and gradually transitions into more wafting compositions that could seamlessly serve as film scores. Dark, refined Electro sounds craft a mysterious, imaginary journey, enriched by sacred and mystical arrangements and Alexander’s great singing on top. The album is a dynamic work with both highs and lows, particularly compelling in its opening tracks. (Rate:7).

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.
