Genre/Influences: Electro-Pop, Techno-Pop, EBM.

Format: Digital, CD.

Background/Info:  For All The Emptiness is a project driven by Jonathan Kaplan and Sebastian Komor. “Circus Of Gods” is their third album, which was originally self-released in 2018 and now re-released by Infacted Recordings.

Content: “Circus Of Gods” is somewhere inspired and carried by Electro-Pop music, which has been transformed into a powerful and merciless production. Mixed with different other influences such as Techno arrangements and some solid, overwhelming sequences reminding me of Dance Or Die, this work has a lot to offer. Some of the heaviest cuts featuring menacing bass lines and overwhelming sound treatments are clearly reflecting the sound DNA of Seb Komor. The album comes to an end after an instrumental piece.

+ + + : Seb Komor is one of those musicians/producer with a very proper sound DNA; you can easily recognize his way of manipulating and boosting the sounds. Whatever the style and influences he’s dealing with, he creates this dynamic and elaborated sound characterized by cutting bass lines and overwhelming sequences. He has been joined by a talented, charismatic singer, which especially at “No Words Of Power”, which is one of the high lights, excels in charisma. There are multiple outstanding songs featured, but I especially recommend listening to “Taking Back Control” (still released as EP), “No Words Of Power”, Here For You” and “Heaven Has Lost Its Mind”.

– – – : I wonder why this project never gained real recognition, but this label deal will maybe make things change.

Conclusion: For All The Emptiness sounds like Electro-Pop on the edge of Industrial music and is definitely meant for tough guys…

Best songs: “Taking Back Control”, “No Words Of Power”, “Here For You”, “Heaven Has Lost Its Mind”, “Of The Sun”.

Rate: (8½).

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.
