G.H.T – Suffer (Album – G.H.T)
Genre/Influences: EBM.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: G.H.T is a Swedish EBM project active for a few years now. A few albums and singles were already released while “Suffer” is the newest opus.
Content: “Suffer” brings us back to the essence of good-old EBM; dark, menacing, bass lines and danceable, linear, rhythms. The main particularity of the production is the way of singing which is more controlled and ghost-like.
+ + + : Who says old-school EBM knows what to expect. G.H.T is an interesting project which perfectly knows how to compose alluring ‘body music’ driven by menacing bass lines -which sometimes remind me of Pouppée Fabrikk.
– – – : I’m missing a bit of passion in the vocals -which often makes the difference with cliché EBM singing.
Conclusion: This is a band to keep an eye on and which will for sure catch the attention of retro-EBM freaks.
Best songs: “The Perpetrator”, “Into Darkness”, “In The Dungeon”.
Rate: 7.

About G.H.T
G.H.T is a Swedish EBM project that returned to activity in 2020 after a long hiatus, releasing “Down the Valley of the Shadows” and “The Seven Deadly Sins” the same year, followed by “Voices of the Night” in May 2021. Those albums drew on the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. “Suffer” arrived in 2023 as a darker, more dance floor-oriented record leaning further into old-school EBM.

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.
