[Intracraneal Possession / Audio Globe]
To all the disappointed fans of synthpop, to all the people who can't take the melodic choruses of Hocico and co anymore, to all the nostalgics of the mid-90s who listen again and again to "Hard Wired" and "Plasticity" of Front Line Assembly or "Church of Acid" of Velvet Acid Christ: you will finally have something good to listen to! Logically following the very good "MMBO", this Allied Vision's third album is an excellent vintage and will remind you of the best years of this genre. On the usual deluge of heavy and cold rhythmics, industrial, cybernetic and technoid sounds, Oscar Storm doesn't sing, he literaly knock you down with his voice on which the effects are light but where the rage and the power are tremendous. Don't look for the verses/choruses' structure here, the tracks are long, winding, progressive, a bit like Velvet Acid Christ's in more brutal. And don't expect neither any lulls or respites, none of the nine tracks of the album (which maybe sound a bit too alike) will yield. As you understood, Allied Vision's electro doesn't compromise and is way above the current German productions. Basically, if you want strong emotions and powerful electro, this record is for you.
