Pending Position – 69 (Digital/CD Album – Infacted Recordings)
Pending Position is a German duo that released its debut album at the end of 2025, following several notable singles.
The album spans no fewer than 15 tracks, seamlessly incorporating a variety of influences. EBM elements are abundant, fused with dark electro-pop, and certain passages even transport the listener into a dance/trance-like experience—always cloaked under a shadowy, atmospheric layer. The album’s diversity is further highlighted in the vocal production, and a well-deserved nod to Apoptygma Berzerk is clearly in order.
This is an extremely successful debut that introduces a highly promising band. (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.
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.
