Schröttersburg – Kosmogonia (Album – Digital/CD/Vinyl/Cassette – Zoharum / DIY Kolo / Bat Cave / N.I.C. Records)
The Polish Schröttersburg has been experimenting with old-school Industrial for several years, but this new work is without a doubt the most faithful to the early Industrial style. The metal percussion takes the listener back to the early experiments of 80s Industrial legends such as Test Department and to a lesser extent SPK. The work also features Epic arrangements, vocals that sound like exclamations and a certain melancholic atmosphere. The album features 7 songs that sound like sonic gems, piece after piece. A real great work! (Rate:9).

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help.

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.
