“Dark ‘80s underground sounds influence a new dimension of body music”
Voltage surges through the underground: Sektor Voltage's En otra dimensión fuses morose post-punk guitars, synth-punk bursts, and motorik-driven electronic body music into a hypnotic, danceable dimension of dark '80s nostalgia. Slippery When Wet's Storm the Spectrum conjures downtempo experimental electronica using only guitars — zero effects — born in an Arizona monsoon. syn.terra's Mellow Evil drags you into a jazz-inflected swamp of grinding guitars, double-bass drums, and brass-screaming progressive metal, while Cathopsis's Solythode marks a bold creative union between Solypsis and Cathode Ray Tube. The Land Of's Transient EP rounds it out with moody downtempo breaks and gorgeous synth lines.
“Relentless, overdriven instrumentation with echoing, emotive vocals to create a piece that encapsulates the raw melancholia one associates with holding onto something that one can’t hold onto anymore”
