Genre/Influences: EBM, dark-electro.

Background/Info: “Resonate” is the debut album of the Russian solo-project Outpost11. The work was released in the end of 2018 on Advoxya Records.

Content: Outpost11 claims to be inspired by the earlier work of bands like NIN, Skinny Puppy, FLA ao. I think there’s an explicit sound link with the 90s electronic music reminding me of bands such as X Marks The Pedwalk and early Skinny Puppy. The songs are mixing EBM and dark-electro together while a few guitar riffs are empowering some of the songs. KMFDM might be another source of inspiration here. The work ends with remixes by Cutoff_Sky and CL-20.

+ + + : For all of those who are familiar with the dark-electro roster of Advoxya Records, this album brings something refreshing to the label. This album is not only dark-electro minded, but also has a cool retro-like EBM touch. The guitar riffs inject some extra energy and power. I also noticed cool bass lines. This is an album with several great songs.

– – – : Outpost11 brings nothing new except a great 90s replica. The originality is far to find, but the efficiency is there. Both remixes don’t really add an extra to the album.

Conclusion: “Resonate” is an accomplished debut work revealing an interesting newcomer. Let’s keep this name in mind!

Best songs: “Bloodstained Hands”, “…But He Loves You!”, “Decline”, “Divide And Conquer”, “Throbbing”, “Break The Wall”.

Rate: (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.

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.
