Background/Info:
Stahlgeist
is a new Hungarian EBM duo set up in 2017. The band is driven by Istvan Gazdag (First Aid
4 Souls) and Tamás Bank (Worker Munkás). Last year the duo self-released the
digital album “Escape Reality”. In the meantime they joined hands together with
Advoxya Records, which released the CD format of this debut work.
Content:
The
album takes off a pure old-school EBM way characterized by a solid bass line.
Quite progressively Stahlgeist moves into an intelligent format of ‘body
music’, which is –just as First Aid 4 Souls, sometimes reminding me of
Frontline Assembly (pay attention to “Infected Colony”). The songs are
diversified, but all inspired by retro-EBM. This diversity also comes back in
the vocals –mainly sung in English, but you’ll also notice other languages as
well.

This is a great debut work. The classical EBM format has no surprises,
but the way the songs have been written reveals a sophisticated process. This
is much more than cheap EBM, but a well-thought and accomplished composition
revealing great bass lines, icy sequences and raw, danceable songs. There are
several cool songs featured on this work. It’s a good thing this album has now
been released on CD!

The link with FLA became rapidly obvious, but I’m not complaining when
the result is that accomplished.
Conclusion:
Stahlgeist
knows how to bring the true EBM spirit to life! This is another strong and
promising debut released by Advoxya Records!
Best
songs:
“Infected Colony”, “Step By Step”, “Nihilist”, “No Regrets”, “Escape
Reality”.
