Album Review
The debut album of young but promising German formation UNDER[BASE] implements almost all modern music tendencies and the best influences of metal scene of the past years. The musicians definitely don’t want to limit themselves to playing just alternative industrial and try to add a bit of Electronica, American hardcore, so home Darkwave to create an intricate yet unobtrusive cocktail that surprisingly doesn’t remind anything else. Listening to such music I even don’t want to compare UNDER[BASE] with other bands of the kind. The album sounds fresh and unique.
The audience of listeners can be absolutely different: the release may be interesting for sophisticated music lovers, obstinate fans of industrial or alternative and of course, for those who like German dark scene. The band proves that they can make real hits. Each song has its own peculiar melodic line, and the vocals seem to be quite diverse and expressive reflecting all the tinges of emotions depending on the song. The album is free of rigid industrial effects like sounds of pick hammers or speeches of presidents, distorted by noises of near-by factories. The musicians have a wonderful sense of harmony and don’t show off to the detriment of lyricism. All in all everything is just great. So keep it up!
