Snuff movies, drugs, jail-time and Baader Meinhof? How fucking long have you been drinking?! You no longer want to waste your time? There's nothing better you can do: the ESSENCE OF MIND gang will help you remembering who you were before... Are you ready to be a part of a game? Join them in their urban techno body guerrilla and throw some shit on the walls. With their powerful and aggressive “Insurrection”, the Norwegian duo ESSENCE OF MIND does not bother about wars or politics, instead they would rather spit their rage against human's stupidity and brainlessness. Between fiction and reality, their engaged music hits you straight in the face and condemns acts and behaviours that we sadly enough encounter all the time in our daily lives. It is definitely not everyday that Norway bears a new electronic fruit. However, history has shown us that with bands like APOPTYGMA BERZERK, ICON OF COIL or yet COMBICHRIST, the Norwegian seal is a guarantee for skill and quality. Created in the spring of 2006, Oslo's up-and-coming electro duo ESSENCE OF MIND will certainly maintain the excellence we have come to expect from Norwegian electronics! Their hard-hitting sonic assaults combine modern techno body music, pumping EBM bass-lines, catchy synth melodies and strong powerful vocals. Their straight in your face attitude and high-energy music will rapidly boost their ascension to the top.
The album is also available as a deluxe 2CD carton box with a bonus disc including several exclusive bonus tracks and remixes by AUTODAFEH, IMPLANT, DIFFUZION, DISKONNEKTED, CRISK, DIRECTION NORTH, RED 7 etc.
