Genre/Influences: Dark-electro.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info:
Italian
Synapsyche project is back on track unleashing the final chapter from their
trilogy based around madness and psychiatry. This last chapter was preceded by
the “Mirror Terror”-EP and the last year released
“Praise Of Folly”-album –all released by the band’s new label Alfa Matrix.
Content:
“Viva
Insanity” features the title song, which is taken from the band’s last album
plus 3 new songs. We next get 8 remixes of “Viva Insanity” and a few other
familiar cuts like “Who The Fuck Are You Now?” and “They Made Me Do It”.
The
sound of Synapsyche remains driven by fast, linear rhythm sections, typical
dark-electro trance leads, some guitar riffs and enraged vocals. The new songs
are quite in the same line as the album while “Attack” is a cover version from the American formation 30 Seconds To Mars.
Remixes
have been done by Aiboforcen, Technoid, Circumpolar, Antibiosis, Statik Sekt,
Schwarzstern, Exemia and T-Error Machinez. The different bands bring diversity
to the original songs.

If you like dark-electro with melodic leads and harsh vocals, “Viva
Insanity” will definitely bring you joy for the dancefloor. I like the
diversity of the remixes, but have a preference for the sound intelligence of
Aiboforcen and its remix of “Who The
Fuck Are You Now?”. Circumpolar did another great remix of the same song,
transposing the original version into a more ambient-like cut. T-Error Machinez
has been inspired to transpose this song into a different, but still very
danceable piece. Among the new songs I especially recommend “Time Destroys
Everything”.

I’m not a huge fan of Synapsyche, which composes an old-styled and less
inspired dark-electro style. All the songs are based upon similar melody lines,
hard-stumping kicks and enraged vocals. It sounds linear so it’s not a surprise
I prefer some of the remixes for injecting diversity and some sound
intelligence.
Conclusion:
Synapsyche
will set dark-electro dancefloors on fire with their hard-hitting dance vibes.
