The Finnish Dark-Electro project Protokoll 19 has already released several singles and EPs, and this summer they returned with their debut album, “Mental Decay”. The album features seven tracks plus three remixes. The sound immediately captures the essence of ‘Hell-Electro,’ with icy, dark atmospheres, hard-hitting rhythms, and menacing bass lines. The harsh, relentless vocals further amplify the tormented mood that permeates the album. Remixes have been exposed to C-Lekktor, Frontal Boundary and Midnight Nightmare. Protokoll 19’s style feels like a hybrid of Suicide Commando, Acylum, and Centhron. (Rating:8).

Listen to “Clairvoyance”.

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.
