Album Review

According to a statement at the official MySpace, DEXY CORP_ from France was influenced by Japanese science fiction movies as well as by projects such as MINISTRY, SKINNY PUPPY and NINE INCH NAILS. Founded in 2002, the four-piece released the EP `Jigger´ one year later. `Fragmentation´ is the first full-length album of DEXY CORP_ and will be released at the label Black Rain that announced the French band as a representative of brute Industrial sounds following the tradition of bands like DIE KRUPPS and KMFDM.

Definitely, the all in all 11 tracks aren’t the right soundtrack for a child’s birthday party or for people who would like to calm down and relax. Heavy guitar riffs are connected to distorted vocals resulting in a threatening soundscape that will cause a thunderstorm inside your four walls. The opener `Overlord´ begins with a technoid up-tempo beat that is soon joined by an e-guitar and the raspy speech singing climaxing in a hellish chorus. `Faceless´ is less infernal and fitted out with rather dragging guitars, but still conjures up images of the end of days. Every now and then, the vocals reminded me a bit of ZEROMANCER-vocalist Alex Møklebust.

The instrumental track `Dark Bliss´ contains some synth gimmicks and drill-like sounds. The tenth song `Ghost Connection´ beats with a high speed Punk-like rhythm and extremely distorted vocals. Though the DEXY CORP_ style isn’t made for wimps, its brute tunes are somehow catchy and perfectly suitable to release the animal inside. The guys know how to make you let it all hang out and I would like to experience them live in concert, as I can imagine that their music will blow the audience away due to its energizing and aggressive character.
