Alternative electronic rock masters from Minsk finally
unleash their first full length album, which they spent three years writing,
but now they are ready to grace us with their ‘spacey’ out of this world
immense sound!
‘The Void’ is their most experimental, heaviest and biggest
release yet, and should put them on the map with their distinct high energy,
electrifying rock sounds, and soaring flawless varied vocals, which can be
heard particularly in the dark infectious thrilling single, ‘Murderers’ which
definitely represents the band’s sound. An absolute must hear comes in form of ‘Omen’,
which is dangerously catchy with a dark rave vibe, created by their fantastic
use of electronic sounds. This can be enjoyed by the masses, for everyone to go
crazy too!! It also features some bad ass fierce screams to make it more
deliciously wicked!
Title track, ‘The Void’ provides a different side to the
band, and shows of Lex’s flawless and varied vocals wonderfully, before jumping
into their groovy upbeat back drop of well-crafted instruments, flowing
seamlessly between the transitions that occur, and exhibiting great ambience
and atmosphere, something they have no trouble doing! Whilst, ‘Everything
Burns’ hits hard, being the heaviest track so far, not to mention exceptionally
catchy!
Other highlights include, the fast paced and far reaching
intelligible, ‘Full Stop’, which will get you moving in no time, and new
single, ‘Solar Empire’, featuring brilliant guest vocals from Cory Brandan of
Norma Jean. It grabs you instantly and
asserts itself with strong solid electronic sounds, which have a major
emphasis, as well as brilliant thought provoking instrumental sections, all
aided by fierce stark vocals from Cory, with contrasting softer vocals from
Lex.
The whole album is expertly delivered and constructed by
the band and Michael Fossenkemper who mastered it, and
they have certainly injected their core and essence into these thirteen songs,
which are all consistent and coherent but all offer something different. The
band have created an unique, intelligent and exciting sound, which is quite
something and hopefully will get the recognition they deserve.
Unlike previous releases, the band also explore with
slower paced ambient offerings, such as , the stripped back, ‘Bruises And The
Cuts’ and ‘Beware The Blind Spots’ which has superb broody beats and rhythms
and clever lyrics; Lex’s use of vocal variation and emphasis have the desired
effect, building up tension and emotion.
Even their softer side has a strong heavy back bone, and
they have the perfect balance of calm meets the storm...in this case an
‘electrical storm’, which you can only admire and let embrace you, this is
evident in ‘Charcoal And Chalk’ especially. These moments help show of their musicianship
and diversity more-so. All the while they offer copious amounts of atmosphere,
whether it be dark, moody, hopeful, fun or disturbing...they have it all here
in ‘The Void’ – you won’t be able to resist getting pulled in, there’s no
turning back once you have experienced it!
