Too Dead To Die – In The Dark (EP – Out Of Line)
Genre/Influences: Electro-Pop, Body-Pop.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: Two years after the last album “Tropical Gothic”, Too Dead To Die revisited songs of this album.
Content: The work features a varied content, moving in between ‘happy sounding’ Electro-Pop and rougher danceable cuts. The work sounds a bit like the offspring between Faderhead, Aesthetic Perfection and even Combichrist (for some of harder passages).
+ + + : Too Dead To Die created a very own Electro-Pop interpretation; a powerful production which is not driven by sweet melody lines, but experiments with Dance and Industrial. Nothing sounds impossible and that’s the main strength of this production. “Porcelain Mary” remains a great and powerful exposure but I also want to mention “They All Were Wont” featuring Freaky Mind and “Anywhere But Home – B-Side”.
– – – : There’re a few cuts which are a bit too short to my taste.
Conclusion: There’re less bands in the genre of Too Dead To Die and that’s for sure what makes this band interesting.
Best songs: “Porcelain Mary”, “They All Were Wont”.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

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.
