“Speed Riders, Spacechips & Synthesizers” is a new album released by ‘Toxic Razor’ (known from Paradox Obscur, Metal Disco, Hardware Pulse ao) on his own label Werkstatt Recordings. The modus operandi continues to be supported by the use of only hardware synths. The genre and influences also remain quite space-like with elements of Electro-Pop and EBM. The biggest difference from previous works is the addition of vocals and that brings a real bonus to the work. (Rate: 7½ )

Inferno Sound Diaries

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.
