'ELEKTRIKILL' (INDUSTRIAL/ELECTRO, REVIEW) - 'Küntzpiracy' (RELEASED JUNE 26TH, EVOL MUSIC GROUP)
03. Vampire Blond feels like a cyberpunk tone with dark electro fused with a little industrial.
It made Bog think of vampires and neo-industrial punks dancing to this in the future in a city at night. Or are the vamps watching the punks? Or vice versa? Nicely mixed, mastered, synced, and timed well, making it visually stimulating.
04. The Scream – Bog banged his head instantly, and the track has a sinister high-frequency drop. There is also another solid drop around halfway with an excellent beat, making it a #peakstomp track for a set.
Bog
liked the vocals on The Scream because they flow nicely and add to the infectious vibe of the track. The fade-out was
nice.
06. Monoshift has a very dark EBM sound, and the intro is an instant hook.
The vocals flow nicely again, and it's a good blend of dark atmospheres.
It is slower-paced but still eerie. There are cinematic vibes halfway through with a nice instrumental
drop that made Bog think some people were chasing him down a dimly lit tunnel
at night. It also features some metal-ish electro coming in. The outro builds nicely to hold the
listener’s attention until the end.
07. My Salvation is a good industrial track blended with EBM/Goth.
It is another one Bog liked because of how the beats are structured and layered, and the vocals are strong again. The pacing is mid-tempo, and the vocal isolation is a nice touch on the outro.
08. Museum of Atrocity is a higher-paced, stompy track, and Bog appreciated the transitions with the beat drops. It has a high hook factor. This is pure energy for moving those feet, whether you are a Bog creature, human, or a sentient grocery bag.
The extended and remix versions are just as fire (tracks 11-13).
Tracks Bog Didn't Feel:
05. A Chill In The Air. It has very goth feels and is melancholy, but it just didn’t hook Bog's ears to follow on from the two bangers. The female backing vocals are a nice touch and do add to the mood of the track.
If you enjoy a slower and more brooding approach, then you will
appreciate A Chill In The Air.
The production and frequencies are all solid, and it is nicely arranged.
09. This Song is Killing You. There is nothing wrong with the track—just not what Bog enjoys—but Elektrikill do not shy away from experimenting.
The vocals
remain strong, as does the musical arrangement.
10. Manifesto was another track Bog didn't feel, but as mentioned above, it is structured, mastered, and synced very well.
Bog's Thoughts: Küntzpiracy is a very well-composed album with precision drops and balanced frequencies, providing truly stompy tracks full of dark feels and energy for the floor.
The instrumentation arrangement is noticeable, and Elektrikill
showcase a wide display of different tracks. The dark, stompier feels are definitely what Bog enjoys, but the intro tracks do set up the mood for the listening experience.
Considering there are only those three tracks Bog didn’t enjoy—which is just personal taste—then that is not bad at all.
Küntzpiracy is atmospheric, sinister, and full of memorable stompy vibes with fierce beat drops and mega vocals. An enjoyable album and listen!
