Baykur - PTHC

Rate:4/5

An experimental trip
This tune may sound annoying for some people, because it is experimental and unapproachable to some extent. Vocals may really get on ones nerves but it's meant to be that way, I suppose. Because of that I didn't get lyrics - a large drawback. I liked the keyboards and sequencing though. Overall, it's a nice tune, but it's bit too short (2'32''), so I won't get into details, because there aren't too many.

De Zeis - Mirror Mirror

Rate:4/5

experimental and interesting
This is one piece of experimental industrial music. I liked the samples (very factory-like) and drum-sound and although the composition is not extremely elaborate, only repeated sequences, it is an engaging composition.

Asylum Bedlam - This is it

Rate:4/5

Underproduced
It's really hard to decide here. The riff is really catchy and NIN-like, but the rest is more metal (I mean vocals and rhythm section) than industrial. There are one or two samples, but it doesn't necessary make a tune industrial. However, an overall impression is very positive. The song is catchy, with a THIS IS IOT howl and composition is swift, but it's simply underproduced. If recorded in better studio, would be hit.

Pequeña Fiera! - Secrets with no words

Rate:8/10
Once again, this one’s from Error!Lo-Fi Records (Spain.). Pequeña Fiera! is a band that explores the border between lo-fi (really ;-) and experimental/art rock (vide Radiohead, Sigur Ros, etc.). What we got on Secrets with no words are 5 very dreamy and hazy tunes, that takes us somewhere very much behind the rainbow. If the band thought about the compositions a little bit thoroughly than it would definitely be a minor underground hit-band. It is still above average, because Pequeña Fiera! Is not afraid to try something new (ok, we’ve heard this dream pop/post rock thing before, but still it’s not that everyone plays that way). My favourite track here is do re mi fa sol I kiss you, very chilled-out track with my vocals and slacky/lazy melody strolling through out. Generally, it is a band and an album to recommend, and I would gladly check out what more do they have in stock.

p.s. I loved their cover. Freaked out!

Stay cool,

gz.

Nightmare Simulation - Never Die

Rate:4/5

Rammstein demo?
Is a nice piece of something that reminds me of some Deutche Neue Harte demo track. It's hard, it's rythmical and undoubtedly industrial. Lyrics are crude, but that's the way it should be and production is a bit garage, but it only makes the mood more grime. Lead vocals do recollect Rammstein singer and the composition is well sequenced. Overall, it's a good track. Keep up with jobs well done.
