Viscera Drip released this new full length a while ago now. The third official studio album “Satanic Panic” has been inspired
by ‘particular
events in America in the 70’s, but even more so, a parallel of our current
lives in a constant state of panic and worry, obsession and fear’. Notice by
the way a limited edition of this album has been released as well, which is
featuring an extra disc with remixes.

Viscera
Drip moves on with pure, dark-electro music, which is driven by solid, pumping
kicks, aggressive sequences and simple, but efficient melody lines. On top of
it all you’ll hear harsh and ‘satanic’ vocals. The main particularity of the
work is the contribution of multiple guests such as Benjamin’s Plague, 13TH Angel,
Sin DNA, Avarice In Audio plus remixes by Circuito Cerrado vs. C-Lekktor,
Tar-Tar, Alien Nation and Jermageddon.

The previous album “Perpetual Adversity” already was a great piece of
music and this latest work simply confirms the great potential of Viscera Drip.
There’s no real surprise and no innovation, but simply a well-crafted album
featuring multiple efficient pieces. “The Human Race Is Wrong”, and “Rotten”
feat. 13TH Angel both are heavy, punching tracks. I however have a preference
for the kind of experimental, instrumental “Tulpa”, which sounds as the
offspring between Feindflug (for the percussion sections) and Suicide Commando
(for the melody line). The different ‘featurings’ are interesting and pretty
successful. There also is a great remix by Circuito Cerrado vs. C-Lekktor.

It might be surprising, but my favorite cut “Tulpa” sounds like an
experimental cut and/or breaks on the album. I regret this cut was not a bit
more elaborated (it’s pretty short) because it sounds damn great! If you’re in
search of ‘progressive’ dark-electronic music this album will not give you what
you want.
Conclusion:
The
title of the work stands for its content! Viscera Drip is a tormented, but very
efficient dark-electro monster!
