<p class="wp-block-paragraph">German aggrotech act <a href="https://www.side-line.com/tag/synthattack/" data-type="post_tag" data-id="3090">SynthAttack</a> will release its sixth studio album, &#8220;<a href="https://synthattack.bandcamp.com/album/immortal-in-hell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Immortal in Hell</a>,&#8221; on 11 September 2026 through darkTunes Music Group. The record follows 2021&#8217;s &#8220;Damnation&#8221; and arrives alongside confirmed live dates, including an appearance at M&#8217;era Luna Festival and a run of fall club and festival shows.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Immortal in Hell&#8221; gathers 17 tracks: eleven new songs, five remixes and a new &#8220;We Are SynthAttack 2.0&#8221; rendition of a track originally released in 2021. The eleven new songs are &#8220;Apocalypse Rising (Intro),&#8221; &#8220;Meet My Demons,&#8221; &#8220;Immortal,&#8221; &#8220;Rave The Grave,&#8221; &#8220;In Hell,&#8221; &#8220;No God,&#8221; &#8220;Dance To The Death,&#8221; &#8220;Electro in my Body,&#8221; &#8220;Do it with Rage,&#8221; &#8220;Untamed&#8221; and &#8220;Circle of Pain.&#8221; Several of these had already circulated as standalone singles since 2022. The five remixes close out the tracklist: &#8220;Do it with Rage (TeknoVore Remix),&#8221; &#8220;Untamed (Neuroklast RMX),&#8221; &#8220;No God (Device Noize RMX),&#8221; &#8220;Circle of Pain (Distoxia RMX)&#8221; and &#8220;Meet My Demons (Frontal Boundary RMX).&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The album is available for pre-order now on Bandcamp in digital format and as a digipak CD that includes an eight-page lyric booklet and six pages of artwork. Lyrically, the band describes the record as moving through inner demons, rage, mental pressure, rebellion, &#8220;broken systems,&#8221; lost faith and &#8220;the feeling of living in a world that sometimes already feels like hell,&#8221; according to the album&#8217;s own Bandcamp description.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About SynthAttack</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SynthAttack is a dark electro and aggrotech project from Hannover, Germany, founded in February 2015 by Britta and Martin Schindler to bring a harder, club-focused strain of dark electro to the scene. The project&#8217;s debut album, &#8220;To The Floor,&#8221; followed by the end of that year and quickly found traction with DJs across the dark electro and aggrotech circuit. Side-Line first introduced the band to its readers in July 2017 as part of its <a href="https://www.side-line.com/side-line-introduces-synthattack-listen-now-to-afterlife-suppressor-remix-face-the-beat-profile-series/">Face The Beat profile series</a>, spotlighting the &#8220;Afterlife (Suppressor Remix)&#8221; track.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SynthAttack released its second album, &#8220;Harsh Is Back,&#8221; in January 2018, followed by &#8220;Join Us&#8221; in 2019 and the &#8220;Harsh Will Never Die&#8221; EP in October 2020. The band&#8217;s fifth album, &#8220;Damnation,&#8221; arrived in December 2021 via darkTunes Music Group and produced several of the standalone singles later folded into &#8220;Immortal in Hell,&#8221; including &#8220;Circle of Pain,&#8221; &#8220;Electro In My Body,&#8221; &#8220;No God,&#8221; &#8220;Do It with Rage,&#8221; &#8220;Untamed,&#8221; &#8220;Dance to the Death,&#8221; &#8220;In Hell,&#8221; &#8220;Immortal&#8221; and &#8220;Rave the Grave.&#8221; Five years on from &#8220;Damnation,&#8221; SynthAttack returns with &#8220;Immortal in Hell&#8221; on 11 September 2026, backed by an M&#8217;era Luna festival slot and a run of fall live dates across Germany and Austria.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Genre/Influences: </strong>Dark-Electro.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Format: </strong>Digital, CD.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info: </strong>German <a href="https://www.side-line.com/tag/centhron/" data-type="post_tag" data-id="2989">Centhron</a> strikes back with a very special work. The tenth studio album of the German Dark-Electro project comes twenty years after their official debut album &#8220;Lichtsucher&#8221;. Elmar Schmidt and his gang has reworked eleven songs from their impressive discography this way delivering updated versions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content: </strong>The work brings multiple essential songs and hits from Centhron back to life. The songs have been seriously boosted while the sound production has been improved as well. This is a way to re-discover famous songs such as &#8220;Dreckst&#252;ck&#8221;, &#8220;Cunt&#8221;, &#8220;Einheit C&#8221;, &#8220;666&#8221;, &#8220;Dominator&#8221; ao in a different, and sometimes noticeable, reworked version; kind of &#8216;V.02&#8217; edits. Powerful kicks and hard, melodic, leads with harsh, enraged, vocals on top became the trademark of the German group. The work comes to an end with the &#8220;Krampus&#8221;-song originally released in 2018. We next get remixes of this song by <a href="https://www.side-line.com/tag/synthattack/" data-type="post_tag" data-id="3090">SynthAttack</a> and <a href="https://www.side-line.com/tag/intentouttake/" data-type="post_tag" data-id="3699">Intent:Outtake</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+ + +&nbsp;: </strong>Centhron became a famous and recognized Dark-Electro formation with an easy recognizable sound. I&#8217;ve always respected bands with a very own, distinguishable sound which I often label as &#8216;sound DNA&#8217; and Centhron belongs to this list. The songs are extremely powerful, driven by hard-core beats and transcendental melody lines. This work is not a &#8216;best of&#8217; although featuring some of the band&#8217;s most essential pieces but reworked versions from songs released over the years. This is pure club-music for dark souls.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>The sound formula and spirit haven&#8217;t really changed over the years; you exactly know what to expect from Centhron although they boosted the songs with extra power on this album.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Centhron has dropped a new sonic bomb over the Dark-Electro universe. Alarm! &#8220;Einheit C&#8221; will surely cause numerous victims!&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best songs: </strong>&#8220;Krampus&#8221;, &#8220;Dreckst&#252;ck&#8221;, &#8220;666&#8221;, &#8220;Cunt&#8221;, &#8220;Dominator&#8221;, &#8220;Einheit C&#8221;, &#8220;Eisenfresse&#8221; + &#8220;Krampus &#8211; Intent:Outtake Remix&#8221;.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">About Centhron</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Centhron formed in Germany in 2001 around vocalist, synth player and programmer Elmar Schmidt and programmer J&#246;rg Herrmann. The pair released the demo &#8220;Melek Taus&#8221; in 2002, followed by the debut album &#8220;Lichtsucher&#8221; on Starfish Music in 2003 and the second album &#8220;Gottwerk&#8221; on Final Dusk Records in 2006. The band then signed to Scanner / Dark Dimensions, releasing &#8220;Roter Stern&#8221; in 2009 and &#8220;Dominator&#8221; in 2011, the latter tour adding bassist Markus Vogler to the line-up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Asgard&#8221; followed in 2013, turning the band&#8217;s lyrics toward Nordic mythology, a theme continued on &#8220;Biest&#8221; (2014) and &#8220;Allvater&#8221; (2017). Elmar Schmidt&#8217;s wife Sandra Schmidt joined on synthesizers in 2016. In 2018, Centhron reissued remastered versions of &#8220;Lichtsucher&#8221; and &#8220;Gottwerk&#8221;, and released the standalone single &#8220;Krampus&#8221;, which went on to receive remixes from SynthAttack, Intent:Outtake, Rotersand and Reaper in the following years. The albums &#8220;Dystopia&#8221; (2019) and &#8220;Fylgja&#8221; (2022) followed. &#8220;Einheit C&#8221;, released in 2023 on Scanner / Dark Dimensions with Elmar Schmidt, Markus Vogler and Sandra Schmidt, gathers eleven re-recorded songs from across the band&#8217;s catalog alongside &#8220;Krampus&#8221; and its remixes.</p>

Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the leading bands from the Mexican dark elektro scene, C-Lekktor, has landed a record deal with the Belgian electro label Alfa Matrix. After having been focused on some side-project activities (for instance <a href="https://store.alfa-matrix-store.com/product/circuito-cerrado-furious-basslines-2cd/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the excellent Circuito Cerrado</a>) and other collaborations over the last years, Markko B. has concentrated his attention back on C-Lekktor.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alfa Matrix announced today that they will release the new C-Lekktor album “New World Disorder” later in October. With this new release C-Lekktor breaks 5 years of extended silence (and pandemic struggle).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first pressing of this “New World Disorder” album comes out as double-CD digipak limited edition with extended artwork and a 16-track bonus disc featuring remixes by Esa, Centhron, Xperiment, The Psychic Force, Fabrikc, Aesthetische, Neikka Rpm, Venal Flesh, Nano Infect, Circuito Cerrado, Llumen, Nevel, Synthattack, Chamaeleon, Miseria Ultima and Third Realm.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can already check two tracks <a href="https://alfamatrix.bandcamp.com/album/new-world-disorder-bonus-tracks-edition" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on Bandcamp</a> (they are yours for immediate download if you pre-order the download release). The 2CD limited edition can be pre-ordered now <a href="https://store.alfa-matrix-store.com/product/c-lekktor-new-world-disorder-2cd/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">from the Alfa Matrix webshop</a>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The project debuted in 2004 with the self-released album &#8220;Re-A-Gression&#8221;. It was followed by &#8220;Cloned And Mutated&#8221; in 2007, again self-released. The same year the project offered &#8220;Refusing The Paradise&#8221; after which they got picked up by COP International. On that label they released 3 albums, &#8220;The Silence Procession&#8221; (2008), &#8220;X-Tension In Progress&#8221; (2012) and &#8220;Final Alternativo&#8221; (2014). The band&#8217;s last album was the 2017 release &#8220;Out Of My Way&#8221; re-released in an anniversary edition in 2019.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Format: </strong>Digital, CD.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info: </strong>It took six years for the Greek duo of Chamaeleon to unleash their third full length album.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content: </strong>The album features 10 songs plus 3 remixes. Chamaeleon strikes back with their harsh approach of mixing Dark-Electro and pure Dance/Trance leads. The influences create a true duality, but Chamaeleon is a sonic ogre without mercy. The songs (and vocals) are powerful, rough and brutal, but always danceable. The leads remind me of Culture Beat transposed into an Industrial dimension.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The remixes have been done by W.E.B. (with a remix of a song from the previous album), C-Lekktor and Roy Asylum.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+ + +&nbsp;: </strong>The&nbsp; Aggrotech approach of Chamaeleon can be linked to the sound formula of SynthAttack. I guess it’s not a coincidence that Chamaeleon has remixed SynthAttack in the past. Both projects have this surprising Dance/Trance touch running through their music and I would not be surprised if this work can become a ‘hot’ sensation. A few songs sound like a weird sonic challenge, mixing pure Dance/Trance leads reminding me of the legendary hit song “Mister Vain” with hard and mind-blowing kicks. Chamaeleon sounds crazy, but the tracklist stands for constant dancefloor stuff!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>I expected a bit more out of the remixes. Don’t get me wrong, this album is good stuff, but some of the leads are a bit too cheap… but I’m afraid that’s part of the challenge and Chamaeleon…</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Chamaeleon strikes back with a bang; perverted Dance music for Industrial clubs!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Mr Hyde”, “Go F#ck Yourself And Die”, “Rage”, “The Transaction”, “Vibe feat. Maria Xoniki”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rate: </strong>8.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Genre/Influences: </strong>Dark-Electro, Aggrotech.&nbsp;</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft size-full"><img decoding="async" width="150" height="150" src="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/SynthAttack-150x150-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-34469"/></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Format: </strong>Digital, CD.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info: </strong>“Damnation” is the fifth album by Martin Schindler aka SynthAttack. We get twelve songs plus six remixes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content: </strong>I realize that SynthAttack isn’t really innovating, the sound and approach being comparable to the previous album. SynthAttack is once more mixing Dark-Electro elements with pure Dance music reminding me of the 90s. They already illustrated it on their previous albums and even dares to go a step further now. The ‘90s tribute’ “Call Me Insane” is a parody of Culture Beat’s “Mr. Vain”. I already thought to have heard a comparable connection to the previous album so they now simply covered this song into a very own, but recognizable style. “Damnation” also features a few heavenly female vocals next to the cavernous, pitched vocals of Martin Schindler.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Remixes have been accomplished by Basscalate, [X]-RX, C-Lekktor, Synapsyche, Reactor7x and Freaky Mind.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+ + +&nbsp;: </strong>This band remains a true challenge, but it clearly becomes a successful formula to conquer the dancefloors. So the title of the album is totally matching with the ongoing pandemic and its consequences for the music scene: closed clubs and no more dancefloors. SynthAttack sounds like food for dancefloors; the sound formula is a true challenge, but it has this terrific kind of dance elixir, which will make you dance. I personally like the tracks with male- &amp; female duo vocals, “Dark Days” being one of my favorite cuts. It also sounds a little bit different from the rest, but the female vocals are adding an artistic and heavenly touch on top of the work. The list of remixers is an extra noticeable element of the album.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>The work sometimes sounds like a copy-paste of its predecessor; no single innovation, but why changing a winning formula? The work becomes a bit predictable and that’s a pity as this band also shows a few ‘different’ ideas, which are more than promising. Despite the great list of remixers, none of them really add a bonus to the album and the original edits.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>I would be not surprised to see SynthAttack once covering some of the greatest 90s Dance-hits and reworking them in their typical darker Dance style. God was a DJ and SynthAttack must be Judas…</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Dark Days”, “We Are SynthAttack”, “Dirty Dark electro – Stomp Edition”, “Magic vs. Toal – Special Edit”.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rate: </strong>7½.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Genre/Influences: </strong>Industrial-Rave, Trance-EBM.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Basscalate-150x150.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Format: </strong>Digital.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info: </strong>German project Basscalate was set up during the lockdown. Driven by SynthAttack front man Martin Schindler, and he got some vocal assistance from Julia. A first single “Feel this Beat” was released last year while we now get an EP featuring three songs plus two remixes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content: </strong>Basscalate clearly sounds like a fun project to set dancefloors on fire. It sounds rather like a mission impossible during lockdown, but once the clubs will open their doors again; this EP has the potential to lead visitors into an ecstatic dance. As the name of the project indicates, the songs are driven by solid bass lines mixed with pumping rhythms and pure Trance arrangements. Julia’s vocals are produced in a half spoken way, sometimes creating the effect of a sampling. Martin does the backing vocals, which sounds like growls. Remixes were done by ES23 and Basszilla.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+ + +&nbsp;: </strong>The main focus is to compose Electro for dancefloors and Basscalate clearly succeeded in their goal. The title song is hitting hard, mixing Techno and Trance with a dark touch on top. The lyrics are hilarious, but it fits with this kind of stuff. Both remixes add a cool extra.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>It’s hard to say if we should treat Basscalate as a serious project; it’s just fun and music to drive you mad.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Basscalate sounds like an antidote to Covid-19; the ultimate vaccine to get clubs open again!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Bass Bitch”, “Feel This Beat”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rate: </strong>7½.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Genre/Influences: </strong>Dark-Pop, Wave-Pop.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Toal-150x150.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Format: </strong>Digital.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info: </strong>German formation Toal released a debut-EP entitled “Timeless”-EP in 2019 and last year struck back with their debut full-length album. The work features ten songs plus seven remixes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content: </strong>Toal deals with a sound, which is not that easy to define. It however clearly sounds inspired by a dark approach in Electro-Pop. The songs have something evasive, sometimes moving into Cinematographic passages and even touching ground with a kind of ‘Cabaret-Noir’-style. The female vocals are sometimes reminding me of a mix between L’Âme Immortelle and Kirlian Camera while the production might appeal for lovers of Blutengel.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Remixes have been accomplished by [:SITD:], L’Âme Immortelle, Chrom, ES23, Mental Exile and HzweiG. There’s also one remix featuring SynthAttack.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+ + +&nbsp;: </strong>I like the mix between the different influences, but globally speaking Toal deals with a rather personal Dark-Electro-Pop approach. This band is not a new emulation of an idol, but tries to bring something different merging different influences with each other. The now sensual and then dreamy-like vocal parts create a delicious match with the music. The album is missing an ‘absolute’ hit, but features multiple cool songs instead. I also have to say a word about the impressive list of remixers. L’Âme Immortelle, Chrom and ES23 did a really great job.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>I think this band has more potential than what came out at this work.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>“Ritus Ex Silenti” is a very promising debut album resulting from a creative process.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Ritual”, “Unreal World”, “Trapped Heart” + “Trapped Heart – Remix by Tom Chrom”, “Unreal World – L’Âme Immortelle Remix”, “Unreal World – ES23 Remix”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rate: </strong>(7½).</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Genre/Influences: </strong>Electro-Pop, EBM, Body-Pop.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/ES23-150x150.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Format: </strong>Digital, CD.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info: </strong>Daniel Pad aka ES23 last year unleashed the EP “When I’m Gone” as an appetizer to his fourth official album “Only Melodies Remain”. It seems that it took a while to release the album, but here it is; twelve songs plus two remixes!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content: </strong>After a rather evasive, instrumental debut song, “When I’m Gone” appears to be the real start of the album. ES23’s last releases were driven by Electro-Pop influences and even if this album holds on this influence, it also becomes empowered by EBM elements especially the second part of the album which is spiced by solid EBM bass lines. Some songs are getting harder while the vocals are spookier. There’s even one song featuring SynthAttack featuring the familiar hopping sequences of this band.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first part of the song is more into the Electro/Future-Pop and ES23 here sometimes reminds me of Apoptygma Berzerk. The work comes to its end with a remix of “When I’m Gone” by Solitary Experiments and “Taking Me Down” remixed by Shiv-R.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+ + +&nbsp;: </strong>ES23 ever started as a Dark-Electro project and progressively moved into solid Electro-Pop music. This album takes some distance with previous productions and becomes harder again, powered by great EBM bass lines. While the debut songs have something more Future-Pop orientated –and revealing some cool songs, the second part of the work appears to be a great fusion between EBM and Electro-Pop. Songs like “Not Your Enemy”, “Good Or Bad” and “Taking Me Down” all are great exposures of this boosted format. Both remixes by Solitary Experiments and Shiv-R are also worthy of examination especially the hard-kicking remix of “Taking Me Down” by Shiv-R is pure sonic adrenaline! I think this album features more potential single/EP title songs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>I don’t see real minus points about this album, Daniel Pad having released one of his best productions to date!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>“Only Melodies Remain” sounds like the perfect offspring between EBM and Electro-Pop.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Not Your Enemy”, “Good Or Bad”, “Only Melodies Remain”, “When I’m Gone”, “Taking Me Down”, “Taking Me Down – Shiv-R Remix”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rate: </strong>(8½).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Genre/Influences: </strong>Dark-Electro, Aggrotech, Industrial-Dance-Pop.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Format: </strong>Digital.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info: </strong>After their last year released fourth full length album “Join Us”, German SynthAttack strikes back with a new EP featuring a title song, remixes and a B-side track.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content: </strong>The success of SynthAttack is according to me due to their mix between different music genres. That’s what this new EP already illustrates. Some will recognize typical Dark-Electro elements, which are powerful and extremely danceable while driven by harsh vocals. Others will be captivated by the Dance/Trance catchy leads, which reinforce the dance format of the work. SynthAttack brings all these elements together. Remixes have been done by Reactor 7x, Noise Resistance and Device Noize. The B-side song moves a bit further into Industrial-Dance music.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+ + +&nbsp;: </strong>SynthAttack remains a real merciless project when it comes to compose dancefloor music. Even if the sound is harsh and dark, it also has something ‘commercial/dance’-minded, which will appeal for a wider audience. The title song is the ultimate fusion between all the aforementioned influences. Among the remixes I want to mention the great job done by Russian project Noise Resistance and the cool remix by Reactor 7x.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>The B-side cut “All Of My Life” features a too ‘Dance’ driven chorus carried by a cheap and cliché like Trance-Dance lead.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The title song is a kind of earworm and a new club killer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Harsh Will Never Die”, “Harsh Will Never Die – Noise Resistance RMX”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rate: </strong>(7).</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SUPPRESSOR is a solo-project hailing from Chile. You might have discovered this hard- and dark minded Electro-Trance project on one of the famous “Endzeit Bunkertracks”-compilation series or by a remix for SynthAttack. Suppressor already released a few EP’s, but has now released the debut full length “Into A Deep Void” on darkTunes Music Group. The work is an astonishing sonic fusion between Psy-Trance and Dark-Electronics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">(Courtesy by <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.facebook.com/InfernoSoundDiaries" target="_blank">Inferno Sound Diaries</a>)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Q: You are already active under the Suppressor moniker for several years now, but can you briefly tell us who you are, where do you come from and how did you get contaminated by the electronic-music virus? What have been your sources of inspiration?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bergen: My name is Bergen Schlitzie, I am from Santiago, Chile. Since I was a child I started listening to Techno and growing up I got interested in Electronic music. In my adolescence I got interested in Gothic- and Industrial music plus hard Electronic beats.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It was in 2004 when together with Ignacio J. Vera (Traumatic Injection, Don Baphomet) we set up our first project called NEUTRAL KONNTROL and so, our way in the music production. I always quote Noisuf-X, Xotox, as a source of inspiration, as well as more neural rhythms such as Psy-Trance and Goa</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Q: You this year released your new album “Into A Deep Void” revealing a true sonic fusion between Industrial- and Psy-Trance music. How do you perceive your own evolution from the previous releases till “Into A Deep Void”?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bergen: Since I started as a SUPPRESSOR, I wanted to have a different and danceable sound. I progressed and got more interested in creating something more ‘personal’. &nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then I decided to try the mixture of Industrial and Psy-Trance for the &#8220;Shaman&#8221;-EP, which generated what I was looking for to obtain that sound; that mixture that was different from the previous one that I already had published and that pleased the public in general.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Q: Tell us a bit more about the writing, recording and production work of the album?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bergen: “Into A Deep Void&#8221; is a very personal process. The title and the album itself are inspired by the film &#8220;Enter The Void&#8221; by Gaspar Noé. In this album I reflect my desires for an introspective journey. The album itself is a process of ending and beginning, a new beginning both personally and artistically. It was a process of trial and error, but with a result that I love.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Q: The Psy-Trance influences are very present in the album, but still in the clip of “&nbsp;Śūnyatā”. Tell us a bit more about the clip and the way you get in touch with Psy-Trance music? What does this genre of music mean to you?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bergen: “Śūnyatā&#8221; or &#8220;Void&#8221; is a Buddhist concept that opens the inner being, empty of feelings and memories, to return as you wish.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Psy-Trance is a music genre that attracts me by its message and connection with nature, it transports me to another place within the subconscious, it creates my &#8220;Void&#8221; and restart as many times as necessary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Q: I think it’s not an easy thing to release a new album during the Covid-19 pandemic. How do you experience this situation and does it have a real impact on your activities?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bergen: This pandemic has been quite difficult to live, both creatively and personally. I should mention that this record was an escape valve. I was able to concentrate on writing it, arranging it, mixing it, and thus freeing myself from many burdens. Enjoy the process, that&#8217;s all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Q: You are hailing from Chile so what can you tell us about the scene (bands, labels, clubs, promoters, organizations etc) in your country? What do you expect to be signed on an European label?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bergen: There are good bands and musical projects like Say Just Words, Die Braut, Traumatic Injection, as well as good places to play and show your art&#8230; but there is a lack of support from the public.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Chilean scene is many years away from what has been achieved in Europe or Mexico where bands are getting a bigger support. I hope to have more opportunities of diffusion together with other European labels (apart from DarkTunes) to show my art to many more people and to get far with my project.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Genre/Influences:
</strong>Dark-electro,
aggrotech. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info:
</strong>“Join
Us” is SynthAttack’s fourth album since the opening full length “To The Floor”
(2015). The band is still driven by the creative spirit of Martin Schindler.
“Join Us” features ten songs plus seven remixes by other artists. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/SynthAttack.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content:
</strong>SynthAttack
can be the best compared to an imaginary dance-ogre. The songs are boosted by
electro-adrenaline made by heavy, danceable kicks, cold electro sequences and
trance-like leads. The vocals feature this cavernous expression while a few
cuts reveal female backings. SynthAttack is the perfect fusion between
dark-electro and dance/trance music. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Remixes
have been accomplished by Aesthetic Perfection, Centhron, Agonoize, ES23,
Grendel, CygnosiC and Nachtmahr. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+
+ +&nbsp;: </strong>SynthAttack clearly composes music for the dancefloor. Each new opus
sounds as a sonic bomb to get fans into frenetic dance. It’s not that different
for “Join Us”, which is an invitation to move. The heavy, boosting kicks
together with the trance-like leads can’t leave club visitors enjoying
dark-electronics unmoved. The songs reflect constant power, which feels a bit like
a transcendental trip. Songs like “Join Us”, “Enjoy The Pain”, and “Addicted To
The Thrill” will definitely convince you from the band’s potential and dance
skills. Next to the new songs you also get an impressive list of famous
artists/remixers. I here have a little preference for the remix of “Final
salvation” by ES23. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211;
&#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>SynthAttack remains a kind of challenge. The fusion of dark-electronics
with some commercial-like trance leads is sometimes pretty risky and maybe a
bit cheap. I’m especially referring to “Final Salvation”, which reminds me of
the lead of Culture Beat’s mega-hit “Mr. Vain”. Despite of the great artists
invited to remix I don’t experience this section as a real bonus to the album.
The original songs are definitely better!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion:
</strong>SynthAttack
makes no prisoners blowing everything down! Music is their religion, the
dancefloor their temple to convince new adherents!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best
songs: </strong>“Join Us”, “Enjoy The Pain”, “Addicted To The Thrill”, “Until The Dawn”,
“Final Salvation – ES23 Remix”, “Join Us – Aesthetic Perfection Remix”. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Genre/Influences: </strong>Dark-electro, EBM. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img decoding="async" src="http://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ES23.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info: </strong>Set up in 2004 by Daniel
Pad, ES23 self-released its debut work and released 3 official full lengths on
Infacted Recordings. “Taking Me Down” is the German project’s newest EP (or
single if you prefer; the work features the title song plus 4 remixes and an
alternative version of the latest album title-song). </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content: </strong>“Taking Me Down” is less
dark-electro driven than what I’m used to hearing from ES23. It remains a
‘cold’ electro driven piece, but it still sounds pretty EBM-like while the
vocals are rather ‘clear’ compared to earlier work. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Remixes were made by
Frozen Plasma, Ruined Conflict, Synthattack and State Of The Union. The last
song is a “Classic Version” of “Erase My Heart”. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+ + +&nbsp;: </strong>The title song is the
right track for an EP; it’s a perfect danceable cut driven by cool, cold
sequences and an efficient lead. The song moves crescendo, which creates a
certain feeling of climax. Among the remixes I especially recommend the
transcendental approach by Frozen Plasma and the more pop-sounding one by
Ruined Conflict.&nbsp; </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>The remixes are okay, but
speaking for myself I expected a bit more out of remixes and especially on an
EP. The “Classic Version” of “Erase My Heart” is surprising, light and wafting,
but doesn’t bring anything really extra to the work. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>ES23 strikes back with an
efficient song for the dancefloors!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Taking Me Down”, “Taking
Me Down – Frozen Plasma Remix”, “Taking Me Down – Ruined Conflict Remix”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rate: </strong>(7).</p>

<p><strong><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-17373 alignleft" src="http://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Nachtmahr.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Nachtmahr.jpg 300w, https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Nachtmahr-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Background/Info: </strong>The upcoming Nachtmahr-album “Antithese” is the pipeline, but this EP brings us a teaser from what we’ll maybe have to endure. Thomas Rainer already strikes back with this new EP featuring next to the title song 5 remixes.</p>
<p><strong>Content: </strong>“Gehorsam” clearly sounds as a move back to the origin of Nachtmahr. In times of “Kunst Ist Krieg” and “Katharsis” Thomas Rainer took the dark-electro audience by surprise, revealing a different kind of music. Hard-bouncing beats, icy electro-industrial sequences and explicit samplings were the main elements of the instant success story of this project. Later on the music became more ‘classical’, being not that different from other dark-electro bands, but focused on a strong and somewhat ‘shocking’ image.</p>
<p>“Gehorsam” is a track that moves back to the early magic of Nachtmahr. Remixes have been accomplished by SynthAttack, Chainreactor, DKAG, Alien Vampires and Stromtod.</p>
<p><strong>+ + + : </strong>Nachtmahr hasn’t reinvented its sound, but simply moved back to the point where it all started. And that’s an interesting move as the early magic is suddenly coming alive revealing one of the best Nachtmahr songs in years. No doubt about it, the dancefloors will be conquered! Among the remixes I especially want to mention the one by Alien Vampires, which has something totally different, a bit experimental, but definitely exciting. SynthAttack did a great job as well. No need to say the artwork is once again illustrated by sexy girls in uniform.</p>
<p><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; : </strong>“Gehorsam” is a great new song, but the EP is first of all food for DJ’s. In the end it’s just one new cut and 5 remixes from this song.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The question is now if “Antithese” will be a total move back to the beginning of Nachmahr? I sincerely hope there’ll be more songs like “Gehorsam” featured on it.</p>
<p><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Gehosam”, “Gehorsam – Remix by Alien Vampires”, “Gehorsam – Remix by SynthAttack”.</p>
<p><strong>Rate: </strong>(7½).</p>

<p><strong><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-16962 alignleft" src="http://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Any-Second.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Any-Second.jpg 300w, https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Any-Second-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Background/Info: </strong>Set up in 2010 by Jan Kluge (vocals) and Thomas DosUnit the Berlin duo self-released the album “Dein Schicksal” in 2012. They were joined in 2016 by Oliver Senger (Agonoize) and started writing new material. “Sünde Mensch” is the first official album from Any Second and features an extra disc with remixes.</p>
<p><strong>Content: </strong>The sound and influences of Any Second are somewhat 90s like and clearly reminding me of bands such as Tyske Lüdder, Der Prager Handgriff and Calva Y Nada. They bring a powerful mix of dark-electronics and pure EBM sung by charismatic vocals. Most of the vocals are sung in German.</p>
<p>The bonus disc features 10 remixes by [:SITD:], Cephalgy, Centhron, Trensity, Mondträume, Electronic Frequency, Synthattack, Tranzresonanz, Pseudokrupp Project and Angriffspakt.</p>
<p><strong>+ + + : </strong>No doubt about it, this is a ‘typical’ Out Of Line production that will appeal for lovers of dark-electronics and EBM. Any second moves somewhere in between and clearly evoke good-old 90s influences. The songs are well-crafted and feature several great cuts. I especially want to tip “Seelenhügel”, which appears to be a real potential hit. The powerful and charismatic vocals are sometimes reminding me of Tyske Lüdder.</p>
<p>Among the remixes I want to say a word about the great job done by [:SITD:] (remixing “Seelenhügel”) and Tanzresonanz (a band I remember from an ‘old’ Out Of Line-compilation entitled “Electrostorm Vol.6”).</p>
<p><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; : </strong>I noticed a few ‘softer’ cuts, which are not the most captivating ones from the work. Sound-wise Any Second avoids all innovation, but I have to admit they accomplished an efficient production.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This is the kind of band that will appeal for multiple electro-heads passionate by EBM and dark-electronics. Nothing new although a cool work!</p>
<p><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Seelenhügel”, “Niedergand”, “Sünde” + “Zorn – Tranzresonanz Remix”, “Seelenhügel – [:SITD:] Remix”.</p>

<p><strong><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-16203 alignleft" src="http://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/System-Noire-300x297.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="297" srcset="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/System-Noire.jpg 300w, https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/System-Noire-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Background/Info: </strong>Björn Miethe (vocals) and Daniel Gosewisch (machines) are System Noire. This German duo previously released a few EP’s (“On The Other Side” was released on DarkTunes Music group) and has now unleashed their official debut full length.</p>
<p><strong>Content: </strong>The music is clearly inspired by dark-electro standards. They clearly pay some attention to achieve simple, but carrying melody lines. The album is alternating mainly dark-electro driven cuts and a few softer cuts. I also noticed a few instrumentals.</p>
<p>System Noire also likes to work with guests. They already did it on their debut single “On The Other Side” featuring Henrik Iversen (NamNamBulu) and now composed a song together with SynthAttack while other songs are featuring Unterschicht and Alien Nation. Remixes have been done by Ruined Conflict, XMH and ES23.</p>
<p><strong>+ + + : </strong>This band deals with a rather easy and somewhat simplistic dark-electro format, which is however rather pleasant to listen to. The harder cuts definitely are the best ones and I especially want to mention “Voices” featuring Unterschicht and “Viaie Introspectivo feat. Alien Nation”. The melodic side of the songs is a noticeable element. I here want to tip “I Believe” as most essential piece. The remixes of Ruined Conflict and ES23 both are attention grabbers.</p>
<p><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; : </strong>The few softer cuts can’t really convince me. But the main element the band maybe has to reconsider is to elaborate their songs. It sometimes sounds a bit too simple-minded.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>System Noire’s debut album is not what I would call a fully successful opus although there are a few interesting cuts that will get you dancing. I think there’s more potential in this band than what came out on this work.</p>
<p><strong>Best songs: </strong>“I Believe”, “Voices feat. Unterschicht”, “Viaie Introspectivo feat. Alien Nation”, “Voices – ES23 Remix”.</p>
<p><strong>Rate: </strong>(6½).</p>

<p><strong><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-16020 alignleft" src="http://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Extize-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Extize-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Extize-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Extize.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Background/Info: </strong>This is the sixth full length by the French-German combo Extize. This album has been inspired by the legendary “Dusk Till Dawn”-movie from Quentin Tarantino.</p>
<p><strong>Content: </strong>Extize is not what I would call a ‘stereotypical’ formation. It’s not that about the influences, which are mixing dark-electronics together with EBM and techno music, but it’s their global approach. Extize likes to make fun, which is an important element and trademark running through their sound. Crazy titles, funny lyrics and weird artwork, but at the other side it&#8217;s still alluring music. There’s a perfect mix between all influences, but the second part of the album reveals the better cuts.</p>
<p>The songs become more powerful and more technoid as well. There’s a track they did together with label mates SynthAttack and there also is a remix by Grendel.</p>
<p><strong>+ + + : </strong>I first of all like the funny side of this band. It’s so different from the average dark-electro groups, which are always serious and dark-minded. Extize stands for pure party. They don’t take themselves too serious although composing serious and well-crafted music. There’s a perfect twist between all different influences. They’re experts in crafting carrying choruses. The last part of the album reveals different noticeable cuts. I’ve to mention the great track they did together with SynthAttack, which is pure violence and power. “The Devil Is A DJ” is a kind of hard-techno music with a little wink to Faithless. I also have to mention the more industrial-driven “KillEmAll” and the ultra-danceable bonus cut “Alles Was Ich Will”. Last, but not least “Angels Are Blind” has something refreshing.</p>
<p><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; : </strong>There are 17 cuts features on this album so it’s quite understandable a few of them are a little less inspired.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Extize doesn’t stand for innovation and yet they’ve something really apart from other bands: a great sense of humor. This is one of the single formations I know dealing with dark-electro music that will make you dance, but also feeling good because of their sense of humor. Respect guys, you definitely rock!</p>
<p><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Midnight feat. SynthAttack”, “Angels Are Blind”, “KillEmAll”, “Alles Was Ich Will  Bonus Track”, “The Slut With 3 Tits”, “Rockbitch”, “Follow The Soulless – Grendel Rmx”.</p>
<p><strong>Rate: </strong>(8).</p>

<p><strong><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-13739 alignleft" src="http://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/SynthAttack.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/SynthAttack.jpg 300w, https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/SynthAttack-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Background/Info: </strong>Set up in 2015, Hannover based SynthAttack became an instant success. Master Schindler has now released his third full length featuring 10 new cuts plus 7 remixes.</p>
<p><strong>Content: </strong>The sound formula hasn’t changed. Driven by pumping kicks, carrying melody lines, aggrotech sequences and harsh produced vocals “Harsh Is Black” will take you on a murderous dance-ride. The songs are pretty similar and clearly composed for the dancefloor.</p>
<p>The remixes have been accomplished by AlienNation, [X]-RX, Chamaeleon, Kryonix, Alien Vampires, Device Noize and Sindikhate.</p>
<p><strong>+ + + : </strong>If you like dark-danceable underground electronics, “Harsh Is Back” will definitely become a praised album. SynthAttack has found this secret formula to get people dancing. Music can be simple and yet very efficient. The secret of SynthAttack is the perfect osmosis between hard, pumping beats, elevating melody lines and harsh vocals of the ‘commander’. I’ve a preference for the title song and “The Beauty Of Violence” while there also is a noticeable cut composed together with Suppressor.</p>
<p>Among the remixes I recommend the work accomplished by [X]-RX, Alien Vampires and Sindikhate.</p>
<p><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; : </strong>The songs are pretty similar; there’s no real innovation. The lyrics clearly aren’t the main topic of SynthAttack. The texts are totally cliché, but simply made to keep in mind and get some rhymes.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>SynthAttack is a kind of dance-ogre and for sure a band DJ’s will play for the greatest pleasure of the clubbers.</p>
<p><strong>Best songs: </strong>“The Beauty Of Violence”, “Unleash The Beat vs. Suppressor”, “Harsh Is Back”, Life Is A Bitch”, “Life Is A Bitch – Sindikhate Rmx”.</p>

<p><strong><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-11896 alignleft" src="http://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Antibody-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Antibody-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Antibody-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Antibody.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Background/Info: </strong>Jan Laustroer has now been active for a couple of years under the Antibody moniker. This German artist self-released the debut EP “Schrimps” (2015) and made some noticeable remixes, plus got featured on the famous “Endzeit Bunkertracks”-series (Alfa Matrix). “Opera Of Death” is the debut album of Antibody and features 13 songs plus 6 remixes.</p>
<p><strong>Content: </strong>The techno-body style rapidly emerges at the surface of the work. It sometimes sounds a bit like the offspring between Seb Komor and Noisuf-X. You feel there’s a similar taste for hard-kicking kicks and bass drums joined by a few sampled words. One of the songs features SynthAttack resulting in hard, distorted, but cool vocal parts.</p>
<p>The remixes have been done by Binary Division, Forgotten Sunrise, Studio-X, Detuned Destruction, The Gothsicles and Cold Therapy.</p>
<p><strong>+ + + : </strong>The sound approach of Antibody is not that new, but clearly dealing with a modern techno-industrial approach, which might remind you of Noisuf-X for the global sound formula and Seb Komor for the sound treatments and manipulations. “Opera Of Death” is music to make you dance and reveals an interesting potential. The song together with SynthAttack sounds more accomplished –maybe because of the vocals, but I also have to mention the title song, which will appeal to the fans of Noisuf-X.</p>
<p>I noticed a few cool remixes and especially want to mention the great job by Studio-X and The Gothsicles.</p>
<p><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; : </strong>I sometimes miss a little bit more elaboration in the global songwriting while a few more spoken samplings and/or real vocals would for sure add something extra. From a pure technical point of view the global production of the album has to be seriously improved in sound and mixing. Put this work in the hands of Seb Komor and I’m sure you really will get a sonic bomb!</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Antibody confirms to be a project with an interesting potential, but it still sounds like a ‘young’ project that has to grown and getting more experience to ‘kick a***’ the way Noisuf-X and Seb Komor are doing! This is however a band to keep an eye on!</p>
<p><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Into The Night feat. SynthAttack”, “Opera Of Death”, “Nothing To Fear – Studio-X Remix”.</p>
<p><strong>Rate: </strong>(6½).</p>

<p><strong><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-8731 alignleft" src="http://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Synthattack-300x300.jpg" alt="Synthattack" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Synthattack-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Synthattack-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Synthattack-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Synthattack-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Synthattack.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Background/Info: </strong>Based in Hannover (Germany) Synthattack is one of the newest sensations from the dark-electro dancefloors. Martin Schindler is the hidden force behind this band, which last year self-released the debut-album “To The Floor”. Synthattack now joined Dark Tunes to unleash their new opus featuring 9 new songs and 8 remixes.</p>
<p><strong>Content: </strong>“Club Takeover” reveals many influences, which can be outlined as dark and electronic, technoid and EBM while we also can speak about aggrotech. The songs are driven by heavy dance kicks and carrying choruses with solid leads. Martin’s vocals inject some extra rage, which perfectly matches with the powerful production. You’ll also notice some trance-minded leads and breaks. “Club Takeover” is a title indicating its dance floor orientated goal.</p>
<p>The remixes have been made by great bands from the dark-electro scene. There are great contributions from C-Lekktor, Chainreactor and Stahlnebel &amp; Black Selket while you’ll also discover remixes by Reaper, Binary Division, Parasite Of God and Suppressor. Last, but not least there’s also a “Single Edit” of “Unbreakable”.</p>
<p><strong>+ + + : </strong>If you like hard and danceable dark-electronics, this album will for sure make you move! But it’s not only an album filled with pumping dance kicks and great, transcendental vibes, but still an opus revealing great sound treatments and I especially refer to “One Love, One Pain”, which is an absolute topper carried by a monstrous lead.</p>
<p><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; : </strong>The main point that hurts is the somewhat repetitive sound formula the band is somewhat abusing from while a few passages are a little bit too techno-dance like.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Synthattack has created a real dance elixir mixing multiple influences. “Club Takeover” is a successful production in its genre and definitely one of the good productions of 2016!</p>
<p><strong>Best songs: </strong>“One Love, One Pain”, “Club Takeover”, “Shut Up”, “Unbreakable feat. Luca Riese”, “My Hell – C-Lekktor Rmx”, “Club Takeover – Chainreactor Rmx”.</p>
<p><strong>Rate: </strong>(8).</p>

<p><strong><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-8719 alignleft" src="http://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Extize.jpg" alt="Extize" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Extize.jpg 300w, https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Extize-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Background/Info: </strong>Extize started out as a real hot and promising newcoming band revealing a great body-techno sound and a cyberpunk look. “Redneck Industrial” is their fifth full length album to date, which has been released on a new label.</p>
<p><strong>Content: </strong>The sound of Extize has simply evolved with the years, but remains strongly inspired by dark-electronics and EBM standards. The main innovation is a totally weird addition of ‘country’ and especially ‘Western’ sound influences, which both explain the title of the album. It’s really funny to hear hard electronics mixed with some (sampled) banjo riffs, but it simply makes sense because it works.</p>
<p>Next to the aforementioned influences “Redneck Industrial” also reveals some groovy industrial passages and even a kind of industrial-pop touch. I also noticed a kind of electro-ballad. But the craziest part consists of a few phone hoaxes by one of their members (Bill).</p>
<p>Last, but not least the final chapter of the album features remixes by Pete Crane (Shiv-R), Synthattack, Binary Division, Nitro/Noise and Omniwar.</p>
<p><strong>+ + + : </strong>The sound is perfectly reflected in the artwork of this opus. Extize will have a serious chance to win the award for the weirdest electro-underground band, but you know what, I like those guys. They not only make great and original music –their ‘redneck industrial’ music sounds irresistible, but they also make me laugh. Those guys don’t take themselves too serious, but they’re serious in what they’re doing. The music mixes numerous influences and Extize has progressively reached a much more personal and mature sound.</p>
<p>I also noticed great remixes and I especially want to mention the ones made by Pete Crane, Synthattack and Binary Division.</p>
<p><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; : </strong>I can imagine some people will absolutely not laugh with the hoaxes. The only song that couldn’t really convince me is the more ballad-inspired “Back To Home”.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>“Redneck Industrial” is a work mixing fun and several potential hits so in the end we can speak about a sexy band… although I’m not sure John Wayne would have loved those guys!</p>
<p><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Ride To The Dark”, “Redneck Industrial”, “Lawless Gringo”, “Guns, Gasoline &amp; Cowbell”, Hillbilly Rage”.</p>
