Review By: DJ_Stasi

vProjekt is the project of Australian Eugene A. Nesci. This effort, with an EP originally released in May 2011, has now released showcases his take on the world of Industrial.

“Exhilarate & Disgust” is laden with a slightly old-school sounding vibe, that reminds this reviewer of old Front Line Assembly and Wumpscut, amongst others. Sliced through with dark, paranoid beats, and a slow-burning feel to the overall affair, building layer upon layer to create a listening experience that is at times suffocating, always melancholy and deliciously dark. There are points in the album where it can almost be said to be like an electronic black metal offering (I’m reminded of mid-period Samael crossed with mid-90s NIN).

:Rivet: Various Artists – World Wide Electronics

Various Artists – World Wide Electronics
Release Date: 4-15-2011
Label: Out of Line Music

Review by: DeVico

World Wide Electronics was gathered by Suicide Commando’s own Johan Von Roy. The title of this compilation is not an exaggeration. Johan Von Roy has searched the globe to bring this Harsh Electro audio candy to you. I should make it clear that even just saying Harsh Electro does not sum the entire album up. The diverse acts really run the gamut, all the while maintaining that stomping assault that you would expect from anything with Suicide Commando’s hand in it. You even have three tracks that SC contributes on. (more…)
