Synapscape – Dekadenz (Album-Digital/DCD – Ant-Zen)
The German Synapscape duo strikes back with 2 digital EPs entitled “Dressur” and “Catwalk Massacre” that are also available as a double CD called “Dekadenz”. “Dressur” sounds more complex and raw creating a fusion between Industrial- and Experimental music. There is a dark atmosphere running through the instrumental compositions driven by bombastic rhythms.
“Catwalk Massacre” also contains 6 songs but sounds completely different. Here we discover a rather retro-Electro/Industrial sound with hard vocals. It is a hard and brutal composition that also features some additional influences such as Acid sequences and Tribal elements. The brutal and unpolished work is also refined with some subtle arrangements. (Rate: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.
