G.H.T. – Resistance (Digital Album – G.H.T.)
The Swedish band G.H.T. has been active for several years and has released a considerable number of albums and singles to date. I discovered them a few years ago and immediately sensed strong potential in their EBM-driven sound.
Dark EBM remains the foundation of their music. The sound is raw, unpolished, and aggressive. Add a menacing atmosphere, and you get a clear sense of what this band stands for. The harsh vocals fit perfectly within the overall sonic framework. At times, certain elements remind me of the early days of Combichrist, while other passages evoke hints of Front 242.
“Resistance” is a strong album; however, more professional mixing and mastering would elevate the band to an even higher level. Nevertheless, this release will undoubtedly appeal to dedicated EBM enthusiasts. (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.
