Genre/Influences: EBM.
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).
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. 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.

The link with FLA became
rapidly obvious, but I’m not complaining when the result is that accomplished.
Conclusion:
First Aid 4 Souls already
was a nice surprise, and it’s not that different for Stahlgeist. This band
knows how to bring the true EBM spirit to life! I know of many bands sharing a
similar music style and signed on established labels, but without the same
talent!
Best songs:
“Infected Colony”, “Step
By Step”, “Nihilist”, “No Regrets”, “Escape Reality”.
