Triode – Demolition (Digital/CD Album – Aliens Production)
Most people know Peter Rybar as a member of Disharmony and, of course, as the driving force behind the Slovakian label Aliens Production. Now, he returns with his side-project Triode and a new album featuring nine tracks.
As both a musician and label owner, Rybar sets the tone for what Aliens Production represents—offering a soundscape that reflects its identity. This latest Triode release embodies that vision with an open-minded, intelligent take on Electro. Several tracks are enriched with Gregorian chant elements, enhancing the Ambient and Cinematic atmosphere, complemented by slow rhythms and cold, textured soundscapes. At times, the music veers into Experimental territory before slipping into obscure, haunting passages. Industrial touches surface here and there, while other sections drift into more ethereal realms—always remaining anchored in darkness.
Rybar also collaborates with Headdreamer on two tracks and revives his other project, Oxyd, for another piece. There is also an additional remix featured, offering yet another layer to this multifaceted work.
While it may not be the best release in Rybar’s extensive discography, it is nonetheless a compelling and well-crafted album—worthy of a prominent place in the Aliens Production catalogue. (Rating:7½).

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.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
