Mach Fox & Zeven Odd Gods – A Sickness (EP – Mach Fox & Zeven Odd Gods)
Genre/Influences: EBM.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: This project features American Mach Fox (Zwaremachine) and Irish D.Corri aka Zeven Odd Gods. They already recorded a few songs and delivered their debut-EP featuring three songs.
Content: The songs are driven by aggressive, EBM-minded, bass lines recovered with a dark mood. The vocals have been produced in a harsh way which is reinforcing the malefic sound expression.
+ + + : I already liked the work of Mach Fox inside Zwaremachine and I’m also convinced by this side-project. It’s more EBM driven but still pretty dark revealing well-crafted, sophisticated songs. There’s something to say about each single song. I even prefer “Dirty Noise” to the title song.
– – – : The songs maybe need a few adjusts, but this band is clearly ready to go further.
Conclusion: “A Sickness” is a promising Dark-EBM debut.
Best Songs: “Dirty Noise”, “A Sickness”, “Hybrid Mind”.
Rate: 8.
